This is a voltage drop question and without a voltage the question can not be answered. As service voltages increase the wire size is allowed to be reduced. Assuming that the 200 amp service is for a home, the voltage of 240 volts will be used in the calculation.
A 3/0 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 200 amps for 160 feet on a 240 volt system.
The code should be consulted on this installation as the utility company might not allow wires with no over current protection to come from the bottom of their meter to an underground service. There is a meter base in the market place that has an over current device mounted directly below the meter socket. This breaker will fulfill the requirement if the utility company says no to your original installation idea.
The formula you are looking for is I = W/E.
Minimum size is 10 gauge with a 30 amp breaker. To be safe I would install an 8 gauge with a 40 amp breaker.
When installing a circuit breaker, you size the breaker based on the wire size. The breaker should be matched to the ampacity of the wire to ensure proper protection against overloads and short circuits. The device being controlled by the breaker is not a determining factor in sizing the breaker.
In North America this size breaker could be used on a welding machine. A range in the home would use a 40 amp two pole breaker.
If you are talking about a breaker in a house panel then a 15 amp breaker would be used. It is the smallest amperage breaker that you will find in a house panel.

In standard construction this would require a 15 amp breaker and 14 gauge copper wire.
AWG # 10 wire.

A 100-A sub-panel would be fed from a 100-A breaker.
Add up your amps to calculate your breaker size. Add up your loads (amps), divide by 0.8, and choose that size breaker. If that number does not correspond to a standard size breaker you go to the next higher standard size breaker.

Depends on the wire size you are using. If the generator breaker is a 30 amp then install a 30 amp breaker.

Assuming being fed by c32 breaker for start load minimum cable size SWA is 70mm which will go to 456 meters
Normally AWG #10 wire on a 30 amp breaker but it really depends on the size of the pump. The pump manufacture will specify the size wire and size breaker needed.
