Because of voltage drop, 4 awg copper would be recommended for that distance run.

A #1 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 50 amps for 200 feet on a 110 volt system.
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.
Wire is sized by the amperage that it will carry. 5 kW is 5000 watts. The equation to find watts is W = Amps x Volts. The equation to find amps is Amps = Watts/Volts. As you can see a voltage is needed to calculate the amperage. Once the amperage is stated, the wire size can be given for that particular amperage.
To answer this question a voltage and amperage must be stated. W = Amps x Volts.
The V stands for volts and A is amps. If for example you have a 12kVA device and are running off a voltage of 120 volts then Amps = 12000/120 = 100. You then use the calculated amps in a wire size table to get the correct size.
To carry 20 amps over a distance of 100 feet, you typically need to use at least 10-gauge wire for copper or 8-gauge wire for aluminum. This accounts for voltage drop and ensures safe operation. Always consider local codes and regulations, and consult a professional electrician if unsure.

Actual voltage would be 240V. 4 AWG copper is capable of carrying 50A. At 200 ft, with a 50A load, voltage drop would be about 6V, which is within the acceptable 3% voltage drop for a branch circuit.

A # 14 copper conductor will be fine to carry 8 amps at 120 volts. This size conductor is rated at 15 amps.

The distance that a 6 gauge wire can carry 50 amps depends on factors like voltage drop and wire insulation. In general, a 6 gauge wire can carry 50 amps for up to 60-70 feet without significant voltage drop. However, it is recommended to consult with a professional electrician for accurate calculations and safety considerations.
This is a voltage drop question. To answer the question about distance a voltage must be stated. That said a #10 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C are both rated at 30 amps.

A #16 copper conductor is not a wiring size that is used in homes. This is because the smallest breaker for residential use is rated for 15 amps. A #16 copper conductor is only rated at 13 amps. For a load of 13 amps over 100 feet a #12 copper would be required.
Couple of things wrong here. 30 isn't a wire size. If you mean a wire that can carry 30 amps that would be # 10. Now it depends on how many # 10 wires you want to put into a conduit that governs the size of the conduit.
