cable size for 90 amps 3 phase 440 v
<<>>
A #3 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 100 and 105 amps respectively.
If this feeder is for a motor connection the wire size has to be increased to 125% of the full load amps of the motor.
If single phase - 2 wire service > two wires If single phase - 3 wire service > three wires If three phase - 3 wire service > three wires If three phase - 4 wire service > four wires US residential service is usually single phase 3 wire service: Two hots and neutral.
You will need a 50 kW generator for a single phase 120/240 volt service.
Single-phase and three-phase can both produce as much power as required if they are correctly designed. Three-phase is used for transmitting power over distances because more power can be transmitted for a given amount of wire. Take three single-phase supplies each transmitting 10 kVA as an example. They use 6 wires in total. Now make them peak out of step, 120 degrees apart in phase. Next, connect the neutral wires together at each end. It will be found that no current is flowing in the neutral wires, so they can be removed. Therefore you are transmitting the same 30 kVA using half the amount of wire by using the 3-phase system. Each live wire acts as the return wire for the other two live wires. This is important when transmitting power for many miles, when the wire is a significant cost.
A ground, or earth, conductor is never included in the conductor count. So, a three-phase, three-wire, system has three line conductors, whereas a three-phase, four-wire system, has three line conductors and a neutral conductor.
If the load is single phase and the load requires 460 volts to operate, then two conductors will be needed and they will connect to a two pole breaker. If the load is three phase and the load requires 460 volts to operate, then three conductors will be needed and they will connected to a three pole breaker. The sizing of the wires will depend upon the current that is drawn by the loads.

There should be 2 or 3 wires. A hot, a neutral and sometimes a ground.
There is only one ground wire needed on any motor, single or three phase.
You can divide a three phase service into (3) single phase circuits providing you have a 4th neutral wire.
A single-phase cable will have a line and a neutral conductor and, possibly, but not necessarily, an earth (ground) conductor. A high-voltage three-phase cable will have three line conductors. A low-voltage three-phase cable is likely to have three line conductors and a neutral conductor.
The main difference between single-phase and three-phase power systems is the number of conductors or wires used to distribute electrical power. Single-phase systems have one live wire and one neutral wire, while three-phase systems have three live wires and one neutral wire. Three-phase power is often used in industrial settings for its ability to provide a more stable power supply and handle higher loads more efficiently compared to single-phase power.
1TR = 3.5KW in Single phase and 1.2KW in 3-phase
Three wires carry the three phase energy.
Verify wiring layouts by making measurements, before connecting and/or energizing equipment. A 120V single phase 2 wire should have one hot wire, a 230V single phase 2 wire should be assumed to have two hot wires, and a 230V single phase 3 wire also should have two hot wires.
Five wires. Two on the primary side, connected to each 120V leg, giving a primary voltage of 240V. Two on the secondary side, one connected to neutral, and the other the new 480V hot. One connecting the frame of the transformer and the box containing it to ground. Note: you will only get one phase power out of this configuration - to get three phase output, you need three phase input, three transformers, and a lot more wires.

A single substance has one phase.
