Depends upon the voltage. The formula for amperage or (wire size) is Watts / Voltage. If the voltage is 220 volts, then the amperage would be over 400 amps. This would require a large wire size to run it. If it were 440 volts, the amperage would be 1/2 or 200 amps. That would require a smaller wire size. As the voltage goes up, the amperage goes down. At a thousand volts, the amperage would only be 90 amps. A wire gauge or size of a #2 would carry 90 amps for small distances.
To calculate the cable size for a 100 kW load, you would need to consider factors such as the voltage of the system, the type of cable insulation, the ambient temperature, and the installation method. The cable size is typically determined by the maximum current the cable will carry without overheating. Using the formula: Cable size (mm²) = (2 x L x I x R) / (√3 x V x cosΦ), where L is the cable length, I is the load current, R is the resistance of the cable, V is the voltage, and cosΦ is the power factor, you can calculate the appropriate cable size for the 100 kW load.

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'.
starting current of 3 phase 75 KW induction motor
if your talking about a generator its not the hp of the engine its the size, rpm, and gearing of the generator motor
Need to know what the voltage of the motor is.
you need the current of motor or the KW/HP rating
For a 37 kW induction motor, a cable size of approximately 10 AWG (American Wire Gauge) would be suitable for typical installations. However, the specific cable size required would depend on factors such as the length of the cable run, ambient temperature, and voltage drop considerations. It is recommended to consult with a qualified electrician to determine the appropriate cable size for your specific application.
3 core 35 sq mm alu. Or 3 core 25 sq mm cup.
The cable size depends on a few factors, such as the supply voltage, the method of starting the motor, (direct-on-line, or star delta) and the length of cable required to compensate for voltage drop. Also, if the cable is copper or aluminum.110 kW motor has a rated current of 200 amps at 415 volts, so the correct copper cable size would have a cross-sectional area of 75 square mm., if the motor is started direct-on-line.At 660 volts, the rated current would be 118 volts and the cable size would be 35 square mm.
At 2965 rpm it sounds like an induction motor for a 50 Hz supply. A 45 kW motor would draw about 55 kW from the supply with a power factor of 0.85, so that is 65 kVA, and on a 415 v 3-phase supply that is a current of 90 amps. For armoured XLPE cale the size needed is at least 16 mm2 Probably 25 mm2 would be preferred for a permanent installation but it would depend on how the cable is installed, how much free air movement there is around it etc.

Find out how much current the motor draws, then look up wire tables to find out the size of wire. Ask an electrician if you are not unfamiliar with this because working at 6.6 kV is definitely lethal for the unqualified.
Assuming it is a 400 V three-phase motor, the phase current is 11 amps, or more if the power factor is less than 1.0 (or the supply voltage is different). If it is a 400 V motor the cable should be capable of carrying 16 amps, so a 2.5 mm-sq 4-core cable is needed.

100 kw is the power drawn by the load. to calculate the cable size you need to know the voltage. From that you can calculate the current. this decides the cable size. for example if the voltage is 400Volts then the current flowing in the circuit when the load is 100 KW will be 250 amps. (100,000/400). for 250 amps to flow with out causing excessive heating of the cable the cross sectional area of the copper cable should be 150 sq mm.for a round cross section the diameter will be roughly 15mm.
