It may be 2/0 instead of #2. I have already buried a 3" conduit from my meter to the building. I will be running a air compressor, hand tools, lights, small heater in the winter, and possibly a small welder. The welder I think is 220 or atleast it has the big plug in. I want to do it the cheapest way but I do want enough power there. Can I run the aluminum 2/0 (I think the numbers are 2 2 2) wire the 200' and use a 100 amp breaker and run all the things listed?
Thanks again I need all the help I can get.</td></tr></table>

are you putting in a new service to the building ( shop/garage) or a sub feed from the main service ? this makes a HUGE difference.....
