There is no one wire that is rated for 1800 amps. The service will have to be a quad parallel of the conductors. A 600 MCM conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 475 amps. This conductor paralleled into four equal lengths will give an ampacity of 1900 amps for each leg of the service.
