    Are you wanting the wire outside or in the house and from where to where. More information is really needed to give you suggestions. Underground, in walls?

    #6 is big wire. Shielded?

    160’ is a long “pull”, have you considered impedance or voltage drop? Yes, where are you pulling this large conductor?

    Surely you must have an electrician friend?

    OK ; The wire goes from the main panel 200 amp house panel

    too a Out Building with 100-amp it's in a 1" tube under ground. I have remove the wire from each panel. They said that I can install #6 wire - 6wires in a-1" tube and I only need four wire installed they said. I only using it for 110 amp for lights, etc, and 220 amp for a welder and lathe. it's not live in it is just a workshop.
