Working on a new project and I'm thinking about doing the install of the new service equipment myself (would be inspected by a UL inspector prior to connection), there are just a couple of things I'm not really clear on. By way of background this will be a 200A Service in New York on an existing structure and main breaker panel will be on the interior adjacent to the the meter socket. All wire will be jacketed 4/0 AL.
1. What's the best way to flash the entry point into the house?
2. Assuming code doesn't matter (and it very well may) is it better to have a rigid mast with a weatherhead or run the jacketed cable up the side of the house
3. I was planning on using a short bit of conduit through the wall and then just having the jacketed 4/0 AL to the main breaker, but is it preferable to try to conduit the whole thing (I imagine those bends wont be fun).
