It's an existing conduit (2.5"). It's empty, so I can choose what to run through it.
Southwire's calculator says that 100A through 4/0 for 250 feet will have 2.66% drop. If I went to 300MCM, I could get it down to 1.97%. Not sure if that's worth the extra cost - I'll have to get a quote on 300. Also says that I should use a #6 aluminum ground wire - that seems small, to me?
