The wire size is based on the amperage to the load. This is the quick estimate for amps when kilowatts are known, Amps = Watts/Voltage. As you can see the value of the voltage that the generator produces is needed. A #6 copper wire with 90 degree C insulation is rated at 65 amps. The following are exact formula for amps when kilowatts are known. This is a formula for single phase generation, Amps = kW x 1000/Volts x pf. The three phase formula is, Amps = kW x 1000/1.73 x Volts x pf. pf = power factor.
