What is a 3 0 conductor?
3/0 Wire, Cable & Cordsets Cable consists of one or more conductors wrapped in a sheath. The sheath binds the inner wires together, and its outer markings indicate the number of wires and size, or gauge (AWG), of wire within the sheathing.

In the case of 200 amps breakers, this means you will need a wire with at least 250A ampacity to connect a 200 amp service.
What does AWG mean in electrical?
American Wire Gauge Conductor Size Table American wire gauge (AWG) is a standardized wire gauge system for the diameters of round, solid, nonferrous, electrically conducting wire. The larger the AWG number or wire guage, the smaller the physical size of the wire. The smallest AWG size is 40 and the largest is 0000 (4/0).
