What is a common metal used in wires to conduct electricity?
copper or even more often brass Copper and aluminum are used in house wiring. Aluminum is typically used in the entrance cable and copper for everything past the breaker panel.

What will be the recommended size cable size for 400 KVA transformer?
3r x 300sq.mm Al. ar UG cable <<>> Wiring is sized by the amperage that is used by the load. The formula for amps is I = W/E. Amps = Watts (or VA)/Volts. As you can see an answer can not be given unless a voltage is stated. The lower the primary voltage the larger the amperage will be and likewise the larger the wire size will be.
What determines the maximum current that can be carried by household wiring?
The capacity, known as the wire's ampacity, of the wire to carry amperage safely determines the size of the wires used in house hold wiring. This capacity is stated in the electrical code that is used in different countries around the world.
