Size conductor

[Str8lin]

Building a new home. Have buried 2.5” wave rib for two end to end 400’ runs (800’ total). Have 200amp transformer one end. What size conductor (2 hot, 1 neutral, one ground) can I pull thru the wave rib and what amp loss will I have over the 800’ run from transformer to house ?
Thanks
