What wire size for 100amp load for distance of 1000ft?

At that distance you will have a voltage drop of 81.25 volts if you use the recommended #6 wire on a 240 volt, 100 amp single phase circuit. Therefore I recommend you contact you electric utility and let them figure the voltage drop and the size wire required to safely run this distance. Using too small a wire can damage the electronics at the end of the run.

What size wire for 100amp. 12vdc?

For a 100 amp 12VDC circuit, you would typically use 2/0 AWG (00 AWG) wire to ensure proper conductivity and safety. This size of wire is rated for up to 150 amps in most applications, providing a good margin for the 100 amp load. Be sure to consult local electrical codes and standards for specific requirements.
