500 mcm (or 500kcmil) conductors are used for 400 amp 480v single phase or 3 phase systems. The wire AND THE TERMINALS must be rated for 90o Celsius.
500mcm 37 strand copper wire = 1.544lbs/ft.
I = W/E, 18500/400 = amps
A 500 MCM wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 430. Most 400 amp services will use parallel wires on each leg to feed the circuit. A 3/0 wire with an insulation factor of 75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 200 and 225 amps respectively. The insulation rating of these conductors will be 600 volts.
Generators are rated in volt-amps (va) and may also have a wattage rating. In most practical applications volt-amps and watts are the same. At 240v single phase, 400 amps is 96000 volt-amps, or 96kva. I would be looking for a 100 kva generator. This is a large generator if you are considering it for your home. In most situations you identify critical circuits and place only these on the generator through a transfer switch. This allows for a much smaller generator.
A #4 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 25 amps for 400 feet on a 120 volt system.
400 volt three phase on a grounded system is 230 volt single phase, with each phase 120 degrees apart. So, if you have a 400 volt, three phase four wire service (grounded service), you can pull one phase off and reference to the neutral for 230 volt service. Note this may not allow 115 volt service, unless there is also a center tap for each phase.
Outlet for standard electronics is 230 Volt , 50HzThe master feed into Swedish houses is 400 Volt three-phase , 50Hz.When 400 Volt three-phase is split in three single phases it becomes threesingle 230 VoltBigger appliances , e.g Washing-machines, dryers, stoves, used to be400 Volt three-phase, but nowadays most washing-machines and dryersare built for 230 Volt single-phase.
500mcm 37 strand copper wire = 1.544lbs/ft.
It depends on the length of the run
A 1000 MCM copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 150 amps for 400 feet on a 120 volt system.
How to increase 220 VAC to 400 VAC? Please advise me about it.
No. Is a 6 volt system.
I = W/E, 18500/400 = amps
Yes it can!
12 volt

There is no 115 volt, 100 amp, or 400 amp switch on the dash of a 2008 Tacoma.
