Wire size for long run

Since I have to go quite a ways with my electricity, I’m going to bury the wire myself and let the electricians do the hookups. My question is what size wire do I need to run 200a service 1100 feet? This will power a 2000sq/ft home and a shop that will have things like a welder, compressor, etc. Nothing industrial scale, just a small-ish home shop for myself to work on my own things. submitted by /u/Zenoid1 [link] [comments]
