A 1/0 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 30 amps for 500 feet on a 240 volt system.
Need to know what size service is going to be installed at the end of the run.
1/0 <<>> This is a voltage drop question. A voltage and whether it is a single or three phase system must be provided to give an answer.
2 AWG Aluminum.
A 1/0 AWG aluminium conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 60 amps for 330 feet on a 240 volt system. The cable will be rated as ACWU 90. ACWU 90 cables are primarily intended for exposed and concealed wiring in dry or wet locations and where exposed to the weather. For use in ventilated, non-ventilated, and ladder type cable trays in wet and dry locations; direct earth burial; service entrance above or below ground.
This is a voltage drop question. To answer this question a voltage must be stated.
Today the only use of aluminum wire is in service entrances and underground feeds where the larger sizes are needed. By using aluminum the overall project wire costs are kept to a minimum even with the bigger size needed over copper. Wiring branch circuit in aluminum has not been vogue for many years now.
AWG 2/0 copper.
This is a voltage drop question. To receive an answer to this question the voltage of the service must be stated.
Your service provider will give you that information The size will depend on: A) how close to the transformer are you. B) copper or aluminum C) Yes, you have a 400amp service but what will your actual peak amp usage be. D) Underground or overhead.
# 6 copper wire.
To span a distance of 20 feet, a lumber beam of at least 2x10 size is typically needed for adequate support.
For carrying 100 amps underground, typically a 2-gauge copper wire or a 1/0-gauge aluminum wire would be suitable. It's important to consult with a licensed electrician to ensure the correct wire size based on distance, voltage drop, and local electrical codes.

1 cubic foot of aluminum weighs 169.344 Lbs
3-4 feet long is ideal
For a 100 amp service over a distance of 100 feet, the recommended wire size is typically 2 AWG copper or 1/0 AWG aluminum.
For a 200 amp service running 650 feet, you would likely need at least 2/0 aluminum or 1/0 copper conductors for the hot lines. The size of the neutral conductor will depend on whether it is required to be the same size as the hot conductors or smaller, and the size of the ground conductor will need to follow local electrical code requirements. It is recommended to consult with a qualified electrician to ensure proper sizing for your specific application.
