Ok, just admit you *can't* or don't *want* to answer the question.
Third times a charm...
So, for clarification, Ex #2 as posted earlier...
#2 HV lines to transformer, trans to meter on pedestal, meter to distribution panel on ped, d-panel to house - d-panel to garage.
Can you run UF from the d-panel to a house/garage?
It's not relevant. Go away.
Yes you can but to get enough current and a low enough voltage drop for reasonably efficient operation you will be running individual UF single conductor cables. In the sizes you will need to supply the house and the garage that is the only way type UF is available. If there are any livestock on the premise then I suggest that you run separate neutral and ground conductors in spite of the additional cost.

That's just what I thought... all mouth and no answers.
Don't want to answer *you*. You asked the question only to be argumentative. Go away.
No, I asked the question to get your input. So please answer the question.

If there's a disconnect in the distribution panel, then that's the service entrance, and the lines from there to anywhere else are feeders.
Does the disconnect have to provide overcurrent protection as well?
Gee, now who could that be.
You?

Aluminum is cheaper than copper , and there are calculators online to figure out the wire size . Search wire sizing calculator , the results I got for your case are there - I know the numbers but you'll have to find them for yourself . For my shop at 100A/60 feet I need #1 copper or 1/0 aluminum . This information was VERY easy to find , are you stupid or just lazy ?
