Have 4 #350 & 1 #1G in 3" PVC. Doing CU to Al conversion and per the attached pic it looks like the 4 #500 AL can still fit within the 3" conduit.

Why doesnt the calculator let me put in ground size?
Where is NEC would I find new ground size needed for #500 AL?

Thanks.

Referencing the NEC, if it's a feeder, 250.122 is still the location to select the EquipGr based on the breaker size.
If you are changing the EG to AL also, it would be a 2/0
