The equation for amperage is Amps = Watts/Volts = 10000/240 = 41.6 amps. It is not stated if this is a motor load or not. If it is a motor load then the feeder has to be rated at 125% x 41.6 = 52 amp wire. Also if it is a motor load then the breaker will have to be 250% x 41.6 = 104 amps. A 100 amp breaker will work and still be within the electrical code ruling. Otherwise for 41.6 amps a 50 amp breaker will be sufficient.
