Service entrance cable question
Will 4/0 4/0 4/0 Aluminum service entry cable fit into a main lug 200 amp load center. The load center is a main lug with no main circuit breaker but i have a circuit breaker on the power pole below the meter. The load center is rated for 200 amps its a 20 space 40 circuit box. Thank you.

Yes.... the 4/0 will fit the lugs.
However, you are required to have a disconnect also at that sub panel since there are more than six breaker spaces.

There should be a neutral bar. Also as mentioned if this panel is after a disconnect (and it should be) you need a ground wire and will need to add a ground bar and isolate the neutral bar (remove ground strap/screw) from the case.
