I have a new 200 amp service. I have a 200 amp three phase panel. The new service is not three phase. Can I hook up the 200 amp two phase service to a 200 amp three phase panel? Would I use the the two outer poles of the 200 amp three phase main breaker? Thanks

trying to cut money I understand what you are saying, but the panel has plenty of space. Am I right on how it is hooked up though? Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the advice. I do understand about lossing 1/3 of the panel just trying to save a little. It is hard times and trying to improve. But I see what you are saying, Thanks.

new panel

Ok I got a new panel, new meter socket and a 200 amp breaker at the meter socket. I just want to be sure about a couple of things. The main electric is on a pole going down to the meter, then out to the 200 amp breaker. This was done with 4 awg AL and a neutral, all incased. Is this correct? Then from the breaker to the new 200 amp panel ( 100' run underground ) I used three 4 awg AL and one 2 awg AL. Using the 2 awg AL as the ground and the third 4 awg as the neutral. Is this correct? I have disconnected the ground bar in the panel on the right of the panel so that the ground goes to the right bar and the neutral goes to the left bar. Is this correct and not trying to sound stupid here but why? All the house panels I have connected you run your ground and neutrals to the same bar. Just trying to make sure the job is done right. Thanks
