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.
You need to look at the regulations that apply in your country. If in doubt, use a neutral wire of the same size as the live wire or wires.
The type would be a three phase panelboard. If you are carrying the wye neutral into the service, then it would be a three phase four wire distribution panelboard. Regardless of the style used, it would have to have a minimum 400 amp bus.
500 mcm (or 500kcmil) conductors are used for 400 amp 480v single phase or 3 phase systems. The wire AND THE TERMINALS must be rated for 90o Celsius.
Presuming that you would like the least expensive installation, the following is calculated on overhead aluminum wire. The wire size needed to hold the voltage drop to 3% would be 3/0 MCM. If the installation could be run on 240 volts then the wire size can be reduced to #2.

You can use a transformer to step down the voltage from 400 volts three phase to 230 volts single phase. Connect one of the phases and the neutral of the three phase supply to the transformer primary winding and then connect the secondary winding to get the desired 230 volts single phase supply.
In Europe and other places the standard single-phase supply for houses and small businesses is 230 v which is derived from a 400 v 3-phase 4-wire supply by connecting each customer's circuit between one phase line and the neutral wire.

Singapore uses a 400/230-V three-phase, four-wire, system. 400 V is achieved by connecting a load between any two line conductors.
Assuming you are working with 240v, you need 4/0 copper conductors.
If the phase voltage is 230 V, then (providing you are describing a three-phase, four-wire, system), then the line voltage will be 1.732 larger -i.e. 400 V.
Need to know what size service is going to be installed at the end of the run.
European domestic supplies are 230v single-phase, derived from a 400 v three-phase supply running down the street (usually underground). This supply is a 4-wire system with three lives and a neutral, which it must be because the different properties draw different currents. When the system is working well the current drawn by a group of houses are reasonably well balanced across the three phases.
