GROuND CONDuCTOR WIRE SIZE

You can use single or multiple service entrance conductor(s) to find

the grounding electrode conductor for AC systems. When using

multiple conductors, the ElectriCalc Pro uses the equivalent Circular

Mils to find the Grounding electrode conductor (based on NEC

Table 250.66).
Find the Grounding electrode conductor Wire Size required when

2/0 is the largest 3-Phase 75°C Copper service-entrance conductor

being used. What is the equivalent Aluminum size? What is the

equivalent Circular Mils?
