Hello,
I bought a 26kw B&S generator. It sits roughly about 200ft from soon to be house. I will be using propane so that will generate 26kw. I was thinking of using 0G up 200ft maybe further, Rated at 600v would that be safe it's generating 108amp. Asl do I use a 100 amp box or higher. And last question since it is a generator do I have to ground it like normal houses on the grid or just rund a grounding line from the generator to the box? I did provide the specs.
I thank you all who help. We are building from ground up and building our own log home and totally 100% off grid.

I am closing this thread in accordance with forum rules. If you are not an electrician, we are not permitted to assist you in performing your own electrical installation or maintenance work.

If installing stuff is not your occupation, then we can’t help you install stuff. You would have had to agree with that rule during the process of registering on the forum.

The reason is that the forum’s owner does not want a person to get an answer to the question they asked, but not get answers to the dozens of other questions they should have asked and were unaware they needed to ask. Mike Holt doesn’t want anyone to get injured by any incidents related to electrical installations. But he also doesn’t want to be sued by the injured party’s relatives on the basis of him not telling you enough to keep you safe.
