The size of branch circuits is directly related to the amperage draw of the load. The load amperage governs the size of the conductors that are used to feed the load. Also by the same token, the breaker that feeds the supply voltage is governed by the amperage draw of the load. So to answer the question, the wire sizes could be any number of different sizes depending on the amperage they have to carry.

How big a wire do you need for 6 amps?
The wire can be as big as you want to carry 6 amps. As a comparison, the smallest home wiring power circuit uses a #14 size wire and it is rated for 15 amps. In the UK a wire of 0.75 sq. mm is rated at 6 amps for portable appliances with occasional use. For a permanent installation a cable of 1 sq. mm. or more should be used. House wiring uses 2.5 sq. mm cable in a ring circuit to supply power sockets.

What is the cable size to take a load of 95kw?
It depends on the voltage, which was not specified. Please restate the question, giving the voltage. The reason for this is that cable size is a function of current, not power.AnswerThe size of a cable depends on the material from which the conductor is made, the number of cores, the type of insulation, whether it is armoured or unarmoured, and how it is installed. So, even if you know the relevant voltage, the only way in which you can determine the correct cable size is the use the tables provided in your country's wiring regulations, which take these factors into account. Incidentally, the symbol for 'kilowatt' is kW, not 'kw'.
