Is table 250.102(C)(1) to be used for sizing the vertical riser to interconnect the elec rm ground bars that are located on each floor of a multi story building?

The building distribution is 5000A, 480V with the feed to the building is via substation with #500 15kV EPR MV105.

Could you please confirm for me that for a 5000A service, a #2/0 max is correctly sized.

Thanks in advance.

Are you referring to a common grounding riser? If so the minimum size is #3/0 copper.
