The minimum size you can use is 3/4 conduit. The code allows for a maximum of 4 each # 6 gauge wires in a 3/4 inch pipe. You'll likely be running 3 ea # 6s, two hots and the neutral and a #10 ground wire.
Maximum power rating describes the maximum power at which a device can operate without reaching an excessive temperature. For example, in the case of a resistor, if its maximum power rating is exceeded, then it may burn out.
The grounding system of a distribution must be from zero ohms to a maximum of two ohms. This is usually obtained by bonding all metallic parts back to the distribution centre with a wire capable of handling the circuits fault current if the circuit should ground out. The ground wire in cable sets is used for this purpose.
