EMT is electrical metallic tubing. In the electrical trade there are nominal sizes expressed as a standard size. To answer your question you must state the conduit size in either electrical terms or in standard size terms to get a conversion size.For example standard size 1/2" EMT has an actual diameter size of 3/4" and the 1/2"EMT connector for the 1/2" EMT conduit needs a 7/8" hole.Likewise with 3/4" EMT the actual outside diameter is 15/16" and the 3/4" EMT connector needs a 1-1/8" hole.

Conduit sizing is based on the number of conductors that are drawn into it. Without the number of 1000 MCM conductors, an answer an not be given.
Code states no more that 4 - 90 degree bends in a conduit run between pull boxes.
How many inches do you deduct for a 90 degree bend on 3/4" conduit:
4 quarter bend
4
A 770 Greenlee hydraulic pipe bender bend is used for rigid steel conduit from 2" to 4".
The amount of conductors per conduit size example code says 3 number 4 conductors in a 1'' conduit
It is generally recommended not to exceed 360 degrees of total bends in a conduit run between boxes. Any more bends may make it difficult to pull wires through the conduit and can affect the efficiency of the electrical system.
The electrical code book provides a chart for conduit fill. The same size conductors have different types and thickness's of insulation which has to be taken into account on wire fill calculations. 1" or 27 mm conduit can carry the following amount of RW90 insulated conductors.25 - #14, 19 - #12, 14 - #10, 7 - #8, 10 - #6, 4 - #4, 3 - #3, 3 - #2,and 1 - #1.

For a 400 amp service, you would typically use a minimum of 3-inch rigid metal conduit (RMC) to accommodate the large conductors required for that amperage. It's essential to consult local electrical codes and regulations to ensure compliance with sizing requirements for your specific installation.
You can fit approximately 9 number 12 THHN wires into a half inch conduit. It's important to follow the National Electrical Code rules for conduit fill to ensure proper installation and safety.
