Can you install a 150 amp meter base and still have a 100 amp main panel?

The wire size in a meter stack is governed by the size of the first over current device.


Can you replace a 100 amp panel with a 200 amp panel using the same wires coming from meter?

No the service wires need to be upgrade to 3/0 copper or 250 mcm aluminum. This will require a power company to disconnect so you can upgrade the service. These wires are always hot unless the power company disconnects from their source. Do it right pull a permit and upgradeAdditional information:Some meter base boxes include a shutoff/breaker. If you are only looking for additional space inside the breaker panel, and do not upgrade to a higher amperage breaker inside the meter base, you actually CAN use the same wire, provided that it is long enough to reach into the new breaker panel. The breaker of the meter base protects from the over-current condition.If you have the shutoff in the meter base, you will obviously be able to disconnect service while you perform the necessary changes. While you are working on the service, lock-out the meter base access to prevent anyone from turning the power back on.It is still recommended that you pull a permit and work with a qualified electrician.

What size ground rods for 800 amp electrical service?

You will need two 8 foot ground rods. One placed under the meter base and another one placed 6 feet to the side next to the foundation. If this is a home I highly recommend you install a 200 amp service instead of a 100 amp service. Not much more expensive and you will have plenty of room for growth.
