The IBM 709 used 2 inch diameter cables for each of the 3 phases at about 200 VAC. It was typical but some used more some used less.

I can't locate the ampacity rating for cable that large right now or I would estimate the power for you.

What is the difference between first generation and second generation computers?

First Generation Computers refer to ones with vacuum tubes and were really huge and required vast amounts of electricity. The programming was very limited and very complex USN machine language. Usually they were hardwired and the applications very limited. Second Generation Computer were built using transistors that were much smaller and required less power and space. General Purpose program languages were developed that could be moved from 1 computer to the next.

What are the advantages of third generation computers?

the computer of this generation could be developed after the development of integrated Circuits. integrated circuits were made of cilicon.A single IC could hold a no.of transistors and resistors.this was also called chip. the computer of this generation were 1000 times fast as compared to first generation computers and their cost was comparatively low.The memory of these computers was much more and data processing became very fast.

What are the advantages of different generations of computer over one another?

Every genration has advantages over other genration of computers, second generation of computers are in small in size as compared to first generation of computers, as well as faster in speed and more reliable, so as third genration of computers are more faster than ist and 2nd generation of computers, fast in speed, more reliable, more commercial use, less heat generation..... simpliarly 4th generation of computers are fastest than all the three generation of computers and more reliable, network fascilities and etc.....
