These are residential set-ups that I'm talking about. They allways seem to be underground fed from the utility.

The utility feeds the meter base with ... I don't remember.

From the meter it's 2" RMC with 3/0 to each panel.

From the water to the panels we pipe it in EMT (some places want ridgid). We do it continous from water pipe to panel to bushing, to next panel to other panel bushing.

Outside pedistal we use the same size wire for the bushings, pedistal, and G rods. I know we only need a #6 for the G rods.

What sizes. I thought I remember one where they wanted 1/0. #2 sounds about right.
