That would need a busbar, an aluminium one with a cross section of 1 cm by 9 cm (or larger).

A 600 MCM copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 475 amps.

A 300 MCM copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 320 amps.

A 3/0 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 225 amps.

These size wires can be installed in parallel 600 MCM, tripled for 300 MCM or grouped in four 3/0 wires groups to achieve the amperage required.

Special parallel, three barrel and four barrel lugs have to be used to make the connection to the required load.
