At least 50mm but with all the de-rating factors it might be 70mm that's if its 2 cable single phase non armoured clipped direct. Check out the tables dopey!!!!
FYI 50 mm = 2 inches, 70 mm = 2.75 inches these are not wire sizes, sound more like cable outside diameters.
Correct answer
The wire size is dependant on the insulation factor on the wire. A few common insulations and corresponding wire sizes for 150 amps are - Size 0 R90 good for 155 amps, also with insulations of RW 75, TWH, TW75, good for 150 amps. Size 000 TW good for 165 amps.

What is the cable size of 110 KW motor?
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.
What would be the size of Cable for a 40 kw 3 phase oven?
It is not possible to answer the question without knowing the supply voltage. Conductors (wires) are sized according to current (amps), not KW. Amps = watts / volts As you can see, there is no way to determine amps (needed to size the wire), without knowing both the KW and the voltage. If this is on a test, it is a trick question. If you are really trying to size a cable for a real stove, hire a licensed electrician! Improperly sized wire can start a fire.
What is the cable size for 3.7 kw 3 phase motor?
It depends on more than Wattage or horsepower. In your question, you also need to mention line Voltage, power factor, and whether single or three-phase. Cable size is based on current, so we need to know everything to calculate current.

This is a voltage drop to establish wire size question. For a correct answer to this question two values are needed. One value needed is the voltage and the other is whether it is three phase or a single phase installation.

What is cable size for a 7.5kw 3 phase induction motor 70 meter run for cable 415v?
Current is about 18 amps per phase. Allowing for power factor and startup, I'd size the wire for 40 amps per phase, which is #5 wire. This wire has a resistance of 0.39 ohm per 1000 ft, which is 0.39 ohms per 305 meter, or 0.09 ohms per 70 meter. At 40 amps, there is a voltage drop on the wire of 40*.09 or 3.6 volts, less than 1% loss, so that is OK. Use 4 conductor #5 copper wire insulated for 480 volts. <<>> A #12 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 13 amps for 230 feet on a 415 volt system.
What is the cable size for 90 kw motor?
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.
How do you calculate the size of cable for 1000kw generator?
To calculate the size of cable for a 1000kW generator, you need to consider the generator's voltage and the distance the cable will run. You will need to calculate the current the generator will draw at full load using the formula: Current (A) = Power (W) / (Voltage (V) x Power Factor). Once you have the current value, you can use it to determine the appropriate cable size based on the current carrying capacity of different cable types, factoring in voltage drop considerations for the distance the cable will run.
What is the cable size for 55kw motor on 3 phase?
Without knowing the nominal voltage rating, who can tell? <<>> The sizing of cables or conductors is based on the amperage that the conductor can safely carry. The formula for amperage is I = W/E. Amps = 12000/Volts. With out a voltage stated an answer to this question can not be answered. When you calculate the amperage, re-ask your question for a conductor size for a given amperage.
What will be the recommended size cable size for 400 KVA transformer?
3r x 300sq.mm Al. ar UG cable <<>> Wiring is sized by the amperage that is used by the load. The formula for amps is I = W/E. Amps = Watts (or VA)/Volts. As you can see an answer can not be given unless a voltage is stated. The lower the primary voltage the larger the amperage will be and likewise the larger the wire size will be.
