Up to about 100 ft the size of the wire is determined by the max current and not the distance. A 90 amp supply needs #6 wire.

A #2 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3 percent or less when supplying 90 amps for 75 feet on a three phase 480 volt system.

How to compute the size of wire with respect to the distance from circuit breaker to the load side?
Normally wire is sized by the amperage of the load. In this case the wire size is calculated by knowing the length of the run to the load and the amperage of the device to be connected. By knowing the length, the wire size has to be increased to allow for voltage drop over the distance from the supply to the load.
What size of wire should be used for 60Hz?
The frequency has no direct relationship to the size of wire. Wire is sized as to the amount of current a load draws in a circuit.
What wire size is needed for 30amp load for 34 feet on 12 volts DC?
8 gauge will be sufficient with less than a half volt drop
What gauge wire should you use for wiring a dock - in conduit - 350 ft at 220 volts?
That depends on the load. In other words how many amps does your load utilize or how many watts? Either figure will work. <<>> Wire size is based on amperage. The higher the load amperage the larger the wire size has to be. In this case also, the wire has to be increased in size to over come the voltage drop for the distance to the load. To receive an answer restate the question with the load amperage or wattage.
What gage wire do you use for 15 amps 200 feet?
This is a voltage drop question. To answer this question a voltage has to be stated. The higher the voltage to the circuit becomes the smaller the wire size needed. After a certain voltage point the wire size will remain constant and the voltage drop at the load will become smaller.
What cable size of wire if the machine is 50hp?
If it is a 480v 3 pH machine, #4 wire will be fine.

What wire size for world's simplest motor?
Wire size is based on the amperage of the load. Without knowing what the motors's full load amperage is, an answer can not be given.
