For that current you would need five 0000 (4/0) wires in parallel for each side of the circuit, and they would heat to 90 degrees C if used for any length of time according to the NEC tables. Those wires have a diameter of 0.46 inch exactly.

There are better ways of transmitting 153 kW if there is a higher voltage available.
