## 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.
