The current capacity of wire depends on the type of insulation. So you
really have not provided quite enough information.

When you put in the conduit, be sure it is large enough that you can
put in larger wire later if you need to. I would also put in a
separate conduit for telephone, alarm signals, etc. If your shop is
200 feet from the house you will want a phone there and probably a
fire and bugler alarm too.

I would also figure out how to feed power from the generator to the
house for power outages.

insulation the wire has. )
