Wire sizing is based on the motors full load amperage. The amperage can be calculated but a voltage has to be stated. I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. Restate the question with a voltage and an answer can be given.
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.
cable size for the 90kW motor is 3CX150sqmm aluminum cable
first calculate the full load amps of the motor by using formula, line amps = KW * 1000 / (line volts*1.732*P.F) Of the mentioned motor the amps will be 96 amps at the P.F 0.8. The motor will have star delta starter so the cable size would be 2 runs of 3c x 70 sq mm AL if laid in air.
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.
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.
voltage drop is be a problem.

how much copper in 250 hp motor

Yes, Motor oil will not damage copper.
just apply the formula :-p=v*i*cos(angle);now you have the power rating,load so in turn power factor so you can easily calculate the value of current.with the help of current you can chose the cable available in the market either the aluminum or copper wiresatendra.svnit@gmail.com
There is no cable. Just a slave at the motor. No adjustments. Hyd. system
The amount of copper in a 250 horsepower (hp) motor can vary based on the motor's design and efficiency. Generally, a 250 hp motor may contain approximately 100 to 200 pounds of copper, primarily in its windings and rotor. Factors such as the motor type (induction, synchronous, etc.) and construction materials can influence the exact copper content.
Copper is not something that is calculated. The amount of copper might be, or copper losses / load losses, might be, but "copper" is not calculated.
