To calculate the wire size you would have to find the amperage. I = W/E, 70000/240 = 291.67 amps. The wire size according to code has to be up sized to 125%. 291.67 x 125% = 364.6. 500MCM copper wire with an insulation factor of 75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 380 and 395 amps respectively. If parallel conductors were used the wire size for 75 degree wire would be 3/0 rated at 200 amps. Parallel conductors for 90 degree wire would be 2/0 rated at 185 amps.

What are the differences between commercial and domestic boilers?
The boiler industry distinguishes between domestic and commercial boilers. A boiler is considered domestic if it is with the range of a 70 kW maximum limit. Any installation above 70kw is considered commercial. This is measured by the installation as opposed to the range of an individual boiler. An installation of two 50kw boilers which are connected to the same system is considered to be a commercial installation as the total amount of kW is higher than 70.
