Cables are rated are by the max current they can supply. To work out the current load you need to divide the Watts by the Voltage (which is either 120 or 240 depending on where you are).
In the UK: 4kW/240V = 4000/240 = 16Amps, so the cable would probably be rated for 20 amps.
In the US the current is 32Amps, so the cable would probably be rated for 50 amps.
How to calculate a cable size of 3kw motor
Need to know what the voltage of the motor is.
you need the current of motor or the KW/HP rating
cable size for the 90kW motor is 3CX150sqmm aluminum cable
3 core 35 sq mm alu. Or 3 core 25 sq mm cup.
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.
Sir, what is the cable size for 1.5kw 3phase induction motor 400v?

16 mm square

3 core 35 sq mm alu. Or 3 core 25 sq mm cup.
For a 26kW, 415V induction motor with a 50m cable run, you would typically need a cable size of at least 6mm^2 to ensure proper voltage drop and current carrying capacity. However, it is always recommended to consult local electrical codes and standards or a licensed electrician to determine the exact cable size needed for your specific installation.
For a 3KW motor with a 350-meter run and 240V supply voltage, you would typically need a cable size of around 16mm² for proper voltage drop considerations and to prevent overheating. It's recommended to consult with a qualified electrician or use a voltage drop calculator to determine the exact cable size needed for your specific installation.
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.
I would recommend you use AWG # 14 gauge which is rated at 15 amps.
