That's why you'll need an electrician.
What voltage are you running through the conduit?
What's the probable peak current demand (load)?
The exact distance plus load determine line gage, and the voltage you are transmitting choose the bundle size. (Typically 3, 4, or some multiple of those depending on whether you want parallel primaries.)
A qualified electrician is going to know all this & will ask the right questions where there are options.
