A 100 amp service requires that you use AWG 4 copper wire or AWG 2 aluminum wire.
2 AWG in Aluminium is required.
Use 4/0
Depends on length. The more length, the more resistance.
12 AWG should be fine since resistance of wire is only about .16 ohms per 100 ft.
A #3 copper wire with an insulation factor of 75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 100 and 105 amps respectively.
You size it by the current required by the secondary, and the primary will be smaller wire.
Check the web for sites to calculate the required wire size for the suggested load.
