Hi all,
I'm not an electrician, but have done a lot of electrical projects, including upgrading electrical services. So, a project of this size and complexity doesn't scare me. I am the homeowner and live in Wyoming and will be acquiring a permit from the state of Wyoming for this project (based on the adopted 2020 NEC). I've reached out to the inspector with my plan, and they are far less than cooperative.
The power company is supportive of my project and have offered 4/0-4/0-2/0 wire for free. But, I feel this wire size is significantly undersized and will result in a significant voltage drop over this distance. I'd rather purchase the correct sized wire and never regret it. This will be my forever house.
Attached is my design and my wire size calculations (L1, L2, N, and G). Does anyone have the skills to confirm my work? Or direct me to a place that can?
Many thanks!
