From the question it is hard to establish whether the service size is 350 amps or the service conductors are 350 MCM in parallel. If the service is 350 amps, the grounding conductor is #3 bare copper wire. Parallel 350 MCM conductors will allow for a 600 amp service. The grounding conductor for a 600 amp service is a #1 bare copper wire.
It depends on the length of the run
A 1600 amp service typically requires 500 kcmil copper wire or 750 kcmil aluminum wire. It's important to consult with a qualified electrician to determine the exact size and type of wire needed for your specific installation to ensure safety and compliance with local electrical codes.
For an 800 amp service with parallel sets of 500 kcmil copper conductors, the grounding electrode conductor size should be based on the largest conductor in the parallel set. The grounding electrode conductor size should be sized based on Table 250.66 in the NEC, which recommends a minimum size of 3/0 AWG copper for 1/0 AWG or larger service-entrance conductors.
For a 4000 amp service, a grounding system with at least 2/0 AWG copper or 4/0 AWG aluminum wire is typically required. The exact size of the grounding system will depend on factors such as the type of soil, moisture levels, and fault current calculations. It is recommended to consult with a licensed electrician or engineer to determine the specific size needed for your installation.
For a 125 amp service, a ground wire size of 8 AWG copper or 6 AWG aluminum is typically sufficient. However, it's important to consult with local electrical codes and regulations to ensure compliance with specific requirements in your area.

200 amp service in chicago uses 3 aught.
This size service can be wired in a few combinations. Two parallel runs of 1250 MCM, three parallel runs of 600 MCM, four parallel runs of 350 MCM. Of the three choices the four runs of 350 MCM wires would be the easiest to handle if there are any bends in the service entrance conduit.
#6 bare copper wire.

The shadow of a cloud on the ground is the same size and shape as the cloud itself because the sun's rays are parallel and the cloud is acting as a screen, blocking the light from reaching the ground below and creating a shadow that mirrors its shape.
250 mcm
A 100 amp residential service requires a size #8 copper wire, it should be insulated in green.
Need to know what size service is going to be installed at the end of the run.
#8 copper
A 1600 amp service typically requires 500 kcmil copper wire or 750 kcmil aluminum wire. It's important to consult with a qualified electrician to determine the exact size and type of wire needed for your specific installation to ensure safety and compliance with local electrical codes.
There is no one wire that is rated for 1800 amps. The service will have to be a quad parallel of the conductors. A 600 MCM conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 475 amps. This conductor paralleled into four equal lengths will give an ampacity of 1900 amps for each leg of the service.
