The service panel itself is probably less than $200.
Yes, a main disconnect is required for a 400 amp 3 phase service to disconnect power from the building. It is a safety feature that allows for easy shutdown of the electrical supply during maintenance or emergencies.
400 volt three phase on a grounded system is 230 volt single phase, with each phase 120 degrees apart. So, if you have a 400 volt, three phase four wire service (grounded service), you can pull one phase off and reference to the neutral for 230 volt service. Note this may not allow 115 volt service, unless there is also a center tap for each phase.
The size of wire for service entrance conductors for a 400 amp 3 phase service could be 500 MCM copper. This is very large size wire and difficult to bend and shape, to connect to terminals in the main disconnect and distribution panel. This problem is solved by using parallel conductors or on higher ampacities triple conductors. Using parallel conductors the wire size would be three ought (3/0) copper.
When you talk of the capacity of a service you are talking about the capacity of the equipment to handle a certain amperage. A 400 amp service has to have all of its equipment to be rated to handle 400 amps. The maximum capacity of the service will be what the service is protected at, be it with fused or breakers. If the fuses of the main breaker were 300 amp rated then the maximum capacity of the service would be 300 amp even though the equipment is rated at 400 amps. The service capacity is governed by the fusing that is protecting the service.
At 400 Kelvin and 40 bar, water is in the supercritical phase, where it exhibits properties of both a liquid and a gas due to high temperature and pressure.
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.

Depends on the size of the sub-panel in that garage. If you are installing a 60 amp sub-panel 400 feet away from the main service panel then use AWG # 4.
A 400 amp main distribution panel for a 3-phase electrical system typically includes three hot wires, one neutral wire, and one ground wire. It is designed to handle a maximum current of 400 amps and is used to distribute power to various circuits in a building. The panel may also have circuit breakers, surge protection, and metering capabilities to monitor electricity usage.
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.

Yes the minimum voltage of an 115vac 400 Hz 3 phase motor will run. You can run a single phase motor on a three service but you cannot be run on a single phase.
400 v each phase
noAnswerWhereas most countries have single-phase residential supplies, some countries, such as Cyprus, often have three-phase supplies. The main distribution panel ('consumer unit') must be designed and assembled to accommodate either a single-phase supply or a three-phase supply; you cannot use a single-phase distribution panel with a three-phase supply.
400V
The necessary requirements for installing a 400 amp service panel in a residential property include obtaining a permit from the local building department, hiring a licensed electrician to do the installation, ensuring the electrical system can handle the increased capacity, and complying with all relevant building codes and regulations.
