A 100 amp service requires that you use AWG 4 copper wire or AWG 2 aluminum wire.
A 100 amp residential service requires a size #8 copper wire, it should be insulated in green.
Approximate overall diameter of the wire is 12.8 mm. If you are looking for metric wire size 95 mm2. 187500 circular mils.

For a 100 amp service, a common feeder wire size would be 2 AWG (American Wire Gauge) copper or 1/0 AWG aluminum. These sizes are appropriate for handling the current capacity needed for a 100 amp electrical service. It is important to consult with a licensed electrician or local building code requirements to ensure the proper wire size for your specific installation.
I would recommend you use AWG # 2 copper or AWG # 1/0 aluminum for that distance and amperage.

That can't be answered until you state the voltage.
For a 100 amp service at 75 feet, you would typically use 2 AWG copper wire or 1/0 AWG aluminum wire. Make sure to consult the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local regulations to ensure compliance with standards and safety requirements. Consider factors like voltage drop and insulation type when selecting the appropriate wire size.
