i'm not sure how you got that number but there is no way "calculation assumes no resistance in the wire" when anything awg is assumed. the only reason there is any calculation is resistance of the wire.
i used the calculator at the end of the page for "copper, 4ooo awg, 240 1/phase, 10 feet one way, 2KA" and the results are 2.015V drop at 211600 circular mills or 0.1662 inch square at less than 1% voltage drop.
