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.

Formula for working out cable size?

There is actually no specific formula used to work out cable size. In order to determine the type of cable you need and the size you need, you need to know the source of the supply, the voltage of the system, the ambient temperature, and the method you plan on laying out the cable.
