Wire size needed depends on amperage, not watts. If you know the voltage of the power supplied you can calculate the amperage using this form of the "power formula":
A = W / V
Then there are tables that tell the amperage each wire gauge is capable of carrying. Just select the gauge that has the amperage rating just larger than you calculated.

How do you compute the size of a breaker for 38.69 kilowatts?
Wire and breakers are sized depending on the current that is to be applied to the circuit. To answer this question a voltage is needed to divide into the kilowatts to obtain this amperage. I = W/E. Once the amperage is obtained a table in the electrical code book is used to establish what the breaker size and wire size should be for that particular amperage.

What is the correct tire pressure on a 2000 Chevy Blazer ZR2?
On the driver's door, you will find a sticker that has various tires sizes. Find yours and follow the proper size to the proper pressure. Front and rear may be different.
How many watts to operate 12 volt caravan fridge?
The watts or amperage should be stated on the nameplate of the fridge. If you are trying to find the size of a wire needed to connect the fridge to the electrical system an amperage needs to be calculated. If the watts of the fridge are known use this formula to find Amps = Watts/Voltage. Once the fridge's amperage is known, a correct wire size can be chosen and the proper fusing to protect the wiring put in place.
