Thanks. You say "For OVER 800 amps"
What about exactly 800 amps? I thought the cutoff where you can do this was 400A
No it is OVER 800 amps, conductor ampacity must be equal or greater than overcurrent protection. As I mentioned I think 500 copper being mistaken to be good for 400 amps is a common reason for confusion. You can protect single 500 at 400 amps, two 500's at 800 amps, but three or more 500's cant be used for 1200, 1600, 2000... In all cases the load can't exceed 380 amps on a single 500, so if you have 390 amps of load you can put it on 400 amp breaker but you would need larger than a 500 copper conductor.
3/0 copper ampacity is right at 200 and this particular conductor doesn't really get the confusion
4/0 aluminum being assumed to be good for 200 amps can be misleading also. It works out that 2-4 4/0 aluminum work out for next size up rule as long as you don't exceed 180 amps of load per conductor. But once you go over 800 amps you have too small of a conductor because no more next size up rule above 800.
