A 3/0 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 150 amps for 150 feet on a 240 volt system. This size will allow the conductor to be loaded to 120 amps. 150 x 80% = 120
Conductors are only allowed to be loaded to 80% or their rated capacity. If you need the full 150 amps then you would need to use a wire with a rating of 190 amps. 190 x 80% = 152 amps
A 4/0 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 190 amps for 150 feet on a 240 volt system.

How do you find out how many amps are coming into the house?
Go to your service meter. (I assume you are a small consumer using a single phase suppply). Identify the Live cable. Then using a suitable meter, such as a clamp-on meter, you can measure the current flowing into the house. It gives a neat and easy way to measure the amps.

What type of disconnect is needed for a 400 amp residential service?
I can think of exactly one justification for 400 amps residential service: a tankless electric water heater, which pulls 150 amps all by itself. In general, if you want 400a service in a home you have to justify it to the electric company--they want to be sure you aren't planning to take up smelting aluminum as your new hobby.If you're going that way, most guys install two 200a load centers with a Siemens 400a meter base. The Siemens meter base has a 400a main breaker in it.
