  • Will it never end??

    While working in the area of the circuit panel, a few 'minor' sparks showed at the pipe edge where the outside feed comes through the house. It appears to be at least one inch water pipe that was bent and fed through the stone, then the end was split back about 6 or so inches. Very raggedy edge, and that's where the 'minor' sparks shoed. Ihave it pulled back from that edge for now. All other projects are now on hold 'till I get this squared away.
    My questions:
    What feed would I use from the meter to the panel? (200A)
    Presently there are two separate black lines. (7/16" O.D.)
    Would I use a two wire/G? Or go with replacing what's there with similar?
    I intend to use the gray PVC from the meter to the house entry hole and use the 'easy-pull' 90degree connector and feed through that.
    Does the pvc stop after the entry point a short distance and allow the feeds to take their lie to the panel? Or shall I connect that pvc directly to the panel and feed through that?
    Finally, what diameter pvc should I use?
    Thanks for the help........AGAIN!

    200 amp service - 4/0 aluminum THW or 2/0 Copper THW
    Use an anti oxidant on all terminations (No-Alox)
    For Aluminum 4/0 - 2 Inch PVC Schedule 80 conduit
    2/0 Copper will fit 1 1/2" trade sized conduit

    Gets real hairy if your inspector wants an expansion fitting before the house termination
