#6 AWG50sqmm Al cable can carry 60 amps safely up to 150mtrs. If distance increases size should increase
what is the current carrying capasity of 16mm cable
10 amps is the maximum it will carry.
On a 230-volt circuit, the cable should be suitable for 13 amps. The size is 1.25 mm2 or 1.5 mm2.
The size of the wire is set by the maximum current it has to carry. The voltage sets the size of the insulation. In the UK a 230 v (nominal) ring-circuit supplying a set of power sockets is rated at 30 amps and uses a ring of 2.5 sq-mm cable.

A # 14 copper conductor will be fine to carry 8 amps at 120 volts. This size conductor is rated at 15 amps.
what is the current carrying capasity of 16mm cable
Depends on the type of cable, the method of fixing the cable, the ambient temperature and the way the cable has been run to the motor (i.e in trunking, Conduit) Bascially a cable with a current carry capasity of 2 amps should be fine (1.45 amps with power factor of unity and no de-rating factors). Remember 1mm cable can carry at least 8 amps. Also please improve your English when asking stupid questions!!
cabla sq,mm to amps
8 AWG.
A 0.15Cu cable has a rating of 382 amps summer and 476 amps winter. 0.2Cu allows 425/530 amps. That is for outdoor use in overhead lines.
70mm 4core copper cable
14
10 amps is the maximum it will carry.
A parallel run of 750 MCM AWG conductors will handle 1000 amps. if we want 1000amps to flow, 250sqmm cable is enough.
A 228 sq mm conductor equates to 450 MCM. A conductor of 450 MCM is not a standard AWG wire size. A standard 400 MCM will carry 380 amps. A standard 500 MCM will carry 430 amps. Difference between 400 and 500 MCM amperage's is 50 amps. Transposing between the two amperage's of 50 amps will be 380 + 25 = 405 or 430 - 25 = 405 amps. This is a very rough calculated answer for the question.
