If This Is For Say A House Or A Distrubition Center, I Would Use 000 Which Will Handle Around 240 Amps With No Problem. I`m Sure This Will Handle It. At Anyone Time You Would Or Should Never Have The Loadcenter Maxed Out ( If This Is For A Home ) And If You Fill You Might Or Are Only Running One Item On This Wiring At 250Amp, You Will Have To Install 0000 Cable. Hope This Helps

A 250 MCM copper wire is with an insulation factor of 75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 255 and 265 amps respectively.
A 350 MCM aluminum wire is with an insulation factor of 75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 250 and 260 amps respectively.
4/0 copper or 300 Aluminum unless you run into voltage drop
Nec 310.15(B)(6)
250 MCM copper is good for 300 amps
350 MCM AL is good for 300 amps
250 amps maximum.
The wire rating for a # 12 wire is 20 amps. If you are going to continuously load the circuit you need to de-rate the wire by 80%. This brings the current down to 20 x .8 = 16 amps. The wire rating of a # 10 wire is 30 amps. 30 x .8 = 24 amps.
A 750 MCM wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 500 amps. De rated to 80% will allow 400 amps on the wire. A 900 MCM wire with an insulation factor of 75 degrees C is rated at 520 amps. A 1500 MCM wire with an insulation factor of 60 degrees C is rated at 520 amps. Parallel 250 MCM will give you the same usage. A 250 MCM wire with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C are rated at 255 and 265 respectively. 255 x 2 = 510 x 80% = 408 amps. 265 x 2 = 530 x 80% = 424 amps.
Wire sizes and ampacity are regulated by code. # 14 wire 15 amps, #12 wire 20 amps, #10 wire 30 amps, #8 wire 40 amps, #6 wire 60 amps. These are the most common, a slight variation in amperage depending on the insulation factor.
55 amps on copper wire.

250 amps maximum.
300 Amps if used for service entrance conductors. Table 310.15

The amps that a four gauge wire will handle will depend with the thickness of the wire. If the wire is thin, the four gauge will handle 95 amps.

This plug is a pin and sleeve 250 volt three phase four wire device. It is rated at 100 amps. A #3 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 130 amps.
A 250 MCM copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 255 and 290 amps respectively
If you mean 2/0 copper wire it is rated 175 amps. # 2 wire is 115 amps. If you are referring to 2.0 metric it is rated 15 amps.
