For a single-phase induction motor, allow 7 amps on a 240 v for a 1-HP motor.

Therefore the formula is: current = 7 X HP x 240 / voltage

What wire 240 volts 6500 watts 100 ft?

The sizing of wire is calculated by the amount of current the circuit draws. To find the amperage when the wattage is known use the following formula, Amps = Watts/Volts. 6500/240 = 27 amps. A #10 AWG copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less, when supplying 27 amps at 240 volts for a 100 foot distance.
