Power company is going to move a pole and replace the pole that my power is ditributed from. Right now it feeds 100A to the house, a small 120v circuit to the barn, and a small 120v to a receptacle in the yard, and I would eventually put power to the chicken coop; another small 120v. Would use 20 amp breakers for each outbuilding run. They're going to give me a 200 amp meter base, and directly below that, I would install an outdoor breaker panel with a main disconnect, and a breaker for the house, and one for each outbuilding.
How big does my outdoor panel need to be? Can I use a 200A panel if I put a 200a breaker in it plus 3-20a ones?
Would then run a new undergound service to the house with 4/0-4/0-4/0 URD cable and install a new 200a load center in the house. House is 75 feet from pole. I know I need a ground rod at each building.
I am going to consult and possibly hire and electrician for this work, and it will happen under the supervision of the power company crew that does the new pole. Just wanted to get the basics figured out first. Thank you very much for your input, and I know this is covered on here often, so thank you for letting me beat a dead horse.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
