Ground wire size for 200?
A 200 amp service panel will require a # 4 bare copper ground wire.
How do you know what wire is ground on 200 amp service?
On a 200 amp or any size service the ground wire is easily identified. Look in the distribution panel for the neutral bus bar. This is where the service neutral (white wire) is connected to the distribution panel. There you will see a bare copper wire connected to the same neutral bar. This is the ground wire that is connected to the ground rods out side of the house.
How do you ground a 100 amp service panel?
In the service distribution panel there are termination points at the top of the panel. Two of the utilities "hot" conductors terminate on the main breaker. The neutral utility termination point is on a terminal block usually off to the side near the main hot terminations. It is in this neutral termination block where the system ground connects from the ground rods to the distribution panel. For a 100 amp panel the wire size will be a #6 bare copper conductor.
What size grounding wire do you use as the 4th wire running in your conduit from your 200 amp meter box to your 200amp service panel this is the ground wire from box to box?
You do not use a ground wire in the connection from the meter base to the distribution panel. A bonding wire may be required if the service is using PVC conduit.
Can a paralleled grounded conductor be a 2?
A conductor used for grounding of the main service should be a single wire. The code book has a table that states the size of ground wire for different service panel amperages.

What wire size to use from breaker box to earth ground rod?
The wire size used in a service entrance distribution panel is governed by the size of the services over current device. The larger the service, the larger the fault current could be, the larger the ground wire to carry the fault current to ground. If the largest service conductor carries 100 amps use a #8, 200 amps - #6, 400 amps - #3, 600 amps - #1, 800 amps - 1/0 and over 800 amps - 2/0 for the ground wire. <<>> Golden Valley Electric Assoc. in Alaska requires #4AWG copper wire for a ground from the breaker box to earth ground rod. The same goes from the service entrance panel on the pole.
