The procedure (leave the formula to the electrical engineers) is to first determine the amperage required to handle the load (check code for allowed percentage of breaker amperage that can be used depending on what type load you have), determine breaker size which will tell you the minimum size wire (from code tables such as # 12 for 20 amp or # 14 for 15 amp, etc). Then determine type of insulation which depends on whether location is wet or dry, interior or exterior, and whether cable must be individual solid or stranded wires, or cables and type of conduit if any. All specified in governing code.

What would the cable size be for a 90 meter armoured cable with a 110 amp supply with a 330 amp start up?
To calculate voltage drop to size the wire, a voltage must be stated.
What is the cable size of 1600kVA transformer?
Cable size is determined by current. You did not provide the current, nor did you include the voltage so that we could calculate the current. Please restate the question, and include either the current or the voltage.

How do you calculate the cable size for a run of 30 meters?
to calculate the cable size of a run of 30 meters long you first will have to know the current of the appliance use the voltage drop formula V d = (mVxIxL)/1000 once the voltage drop is less than 2.5% of the nominal voltage, the cable should be upsize.
What is the type and size of cable gland or 2 core cable?
To answer this question the size of the cable or the amperage of the load is needed to calculate the correct wire size and connectors to fit the cable.
What is the formula to calculate Conduction current in a coaxial cable?
Jc=sigma.E
Formula for working out cable size?
There is actually no specific formula used to work out cable size. In order to determine the type of cable you need and the size you need, you need to know the source of the supply, the voltage of the system, the ambient temperature, and the method you plan on laying out the cable.
How calculate the cable size when give current?
The NEC has a table that shows what size cable to use with each amperage and where it can be used.

Could you Calculate cable size for 100 kw load?
Yes I could. How?
How do you calculate the voltage drop for 238 KW 3 phase 415 V and length of circuit is 20 meters?
You need also to know the resistance of the cable. First you establish what the current of the load is. Then from that you calculate the wire size. From a wire size chart you find the wire resistance. Then use the formula I (squared) x R.
What cable size needed for 3KW geyser?
You need to know the amperage requirement of the pump and then you can calculate the wire size.
For 100kw which cable size is good and how to find out cable size?
100 kw is the power drawn by the load. to calculate the cable size you need to know the voltage. From that you can calculate the current. this decides the cable size. for example if the voltage is 400Volts then the current flowing in the circuit when the load is 100 KW will be 250 amps. (100,000/400). for 250 amps to flow with out causing excessive heating of the cable the cross sectional area of the copper cable should be 150 sq mm.for a round cross section the diameter will be roughly 15mm.
