Ground wire size for 200?
The size of the ground wire for a circuit is typically based on the size of the circuit breaker protecting that circuit. For a 200 amp circuit breaker, the recommended ground wire size is 4/0 AWG (American Wire Gauge) copper wire. This wire size helps ensure that the ground wire can safely carry any fault currents that may occur in the electrical system.
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.

What is the recommended ground wire size according to the NEC Ground Wire Size Chart?
The recommended ground wire size according to the NEC Ground Wire Size Chart is based on the amperage of the circuit.
How do you determine the equipment ground wire size for equipment?
It is an electrical code rule that is determined by the amount of current that a connected device draws. Depending on the amperage that the equipment will draw determines what the size of the wire needed to handle the fault current. The larger the amperage the larger the ground wire needed.
