Design IQ reviews your engineering designs against your standards—surfacing issues your engineers can act on, faster than ever before.
Can you check if the GEC sizing on the one-line meets NEC 250.66 for this 200A service?
The GEC shown on E-101 One-Line D...p.4 is specified as #6 AWG copper. Per NEC 250.66, a 200A service with 3/0 AWG ungrounded conductors requires a minimum #4 AWG copper GEC.
The current sizing is non-compliant. I recommend upgrading to at least #4 AWG copper and updating the one-line diagram and grounding detail on E-101 One-Line D...p.12.
What about the service entrance conductor ampacity — does it pass 310.15?
The load calculation on E-101 One-Line D...p.2 shows 187A demand. The one-line specifies 2/0 Cu at 75°C which is rated for 175A. After applying NEC 310.15(B)(3)(a) derating factors, the conductors are undersized by ~12A.
Recommendation: resize service conductors to minimum 3/0 AWG copper to satisfy ampacity requirements, and update the one-line and panel schedule.
