I am doing a 100 to 200amps (underground) service upgrade.
Can I use the existing 11/4” pvc pipe to run the 200amps rated wires?
What is the smallest size of wire I can use for the 200amps?

Is (2) #2/0awg copper & (1) #6awg neutral copper ok?
 
This thread might be better placed in the Canadian subforum as the practice here in the UK is different.
