Best Answer

There is no one wire that is rated for 1800 amps. The service will have to be a quad parallel of the conductors. A 600 MCM conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 475 amps. This conductor paralleled into four equal lengths will give an ampacity of 1900 amps for each leg of the service.

What size service ground is needed for a 350 parallel service?

From the question it is hard to establish whether the service size is 350 amps or the service conductors are 350 MCM in parallel. If the service is 350 amps, the grounding conductor is #3 bare copper wire. Parallel 350 MCM conductors will allow for a 600 amp service. The grounding conductor for a 600 amp service is a #1 bare copper wire.
