The wiring on the load side of the service point has always had a full sized neutral in my experience.
I never gave much thought to what the PoCo was doing since I didn't have much ability to change it.

Greg:

Yes, triplex is reduced, but that is on their side!

My references are to typical NJ (PSE&G) secondaries that are 'customer installed' from pad mount xfrs. The rule also applies to O/H.

I agree, everything on "my side" has had full sized neutrals.

God willing, and the creek don't rise (again!) I'll be installing 11 runs of 750KCMIL w/ 250 KCmil grounds monday

at first sniff that 250 seemed a tad small

but they're not calling it a neutral

they're calling it a groundING conductor (there's your 12.5%)

and 'earthing' a noodle from the 4000A 480 switchgear

this was engineered , and done so with both the poco and architectual engineers working in unision btw

all code ref's aside, i just don't like creating something that is readilly available, especially in close proximty to so many potential returns to the serving xfomer (or the other 2000A xfomer bank aboput 40' away)
