For a distribution panel rated at 400 amps parallel runs of 3/0 conductors will do the job.
A 500 MCM wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 430. Most 400 amp services will use parallel wires on each leg to feed the circuit. A 3/0 wire with an insulation factor of 75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 200 and 225 amps respectively. The insulation rating of these conductors will be 600 volts.
Minimal 100. Depends on load draw of home. Can be 200 amps or 400 amps as well.
Generators are rated in volt-amps (va) and may also have a wattage rating. In most practical applications volt-amps and watts are the same. At 240v single phase, 400 amps is 96000 volt-amps, or 96kva. I would be looking for a 100 kva generator. This is a large generator if you are considering it for your home. In most situations you identify critical circuits and place only these on the generator through a transfer switch. This allows for a much smaller generator.
I = W/E, 18500/400 = amps

cca is 'cold cranking amps' in other words how many amperes can a given battery supply to crank a cold car engine. A good battery can give 400 amps for cold cranking.
For a 400 amp service, you would typically use 500 kcmil copper wire or 600 kcmil aluminum wire for the main service conductors. It's important to consult with a licensed electrician and check local electrical codes to ensure the correct wire size is used for your specific installation.

A 250 kcmil copper feeder cable would be appropriate for a 300 amp circuit breaker when stepping up from 220V to 380V. It is always recommended to consult with a qualified electrician or engineer to ensure the correct cable size for your specific application and wiring conditions.
Watts = Amps x Volts x Power Factor. Power Factor = 1 for resistive loads and gets smaller for inductive loads like motors. Assuming home voltage of 120 Volts and a PF = 1 your answer is 400/120 = 3.33 amps.
4000 A is 400 Amps.
To calculate the amperage, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. In this case, a 400-watt heater cartridge at 240 volts would draw 1.67 amps.
Multiplying 400 volts by 45 amps would give you a power output of 18000 watts, which is equivalent to 18 kilowatts (kW).
