Answer

I had to check with my husband who is an electrician on this one.

He says -


If the wire is copper from the old meter base to the panel, it must be size 3/0 AWG.

The wire should be rated 90 degrees C. This will carry 225 amps, which will be more than enough for your 200 amp service.

I hope this helps!
