What size conduit and aluminum wire for a 400 foot run on a 120 240 volt system?

The key parameter in sizing wire is the current requirement. Once you know that you can look up value in a wire gauge table. The length of the run is important for longer runs because of the resistance of the wire itself. Aluminum wire requires a larger diameter than copper for the same current. Once you calculate the wire size you can then size the conduit.

ma - male adapter, fa - female adapter, coup - coupling, conn - connector, cap - end cap, reducer - bushings that reduce the size of a conduit to allow connection to a smaller size conduit, expansion joints - to allow the expansion and contraction in the conduit system.
What size conduit and aluminum wire for a 400 foot run for 200 amps?
The question can't be answered without knowing what the voltage is. That is because the allowed voltage drop is 5% of the supply voltage, so you need to know the supply voltage. Then the wire calculation aims to find out what the minimum size of wire is that produces that voltage drop or less.
