the 200A panel?

## ha ha. I had the power co guy's out here a few months back..and asked
them
the same thing. Their answer was... "go ahead and burn it right off the
pole" .
Here in NA, we are being sold a bill of goods. Everyone has '200 A'
service...
but the drop wire into each home is just 1-0 stranded AL.... which then
gets
spliced into 3-000 stranded CU. .. then into the meter base [which is the
most
mickey mouse, piss poor design you ever saw, regardless of who makes em] ..
then into main 200A panel.. which imo, they all use undersize buss bars.
