A 1/0 copper wire with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 150 and 155 amps respectively.
Wire is not sized by voltage. It is sized by current measured in amps. Some common copper wire sizes and their current capacities are: 15 amps -- 14 gauge wire 20 amps -- 12 gauge wire 30 amps -- 10 gauge wire 40 amps -- 8 gauge wire
You are probably thinking about 1/0 wire (1 ought wire). In copper it is rated at 175 amps and in aluminum 125 amps.
250 amps maximum.
It mostly depends on the voltage of the circuit. Watts is the product of amps x volts. Amps = Watts/Volts. 600/120 = 5 amps, 600/240 = 2.5 amps. In both cases a #14 copper R90 degree wire will do the job. It is rated at 15 amps.
No they can not, because the electrical code states that wires in parallel can only be 1/0 AWG and larger. The ampacity of 1/0 wire is 150 amps. The ampacity of a wire for 60 amps is #6 which is much smaller that 1/0 wire.

3/0 gauge

250 amps maximum.
At the service entrance you will need AWG 1/0 gauge.
As a service entrance wire you need AWG # 3/0 gauge copper.
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.

Service wire required is AWG # 3/0 copper.
Aluminum 4/0 wire car carry 180 amps at at 75 degrees Fahrenheit or 205 amps at 90 degrees. .
