200kw gen how much amp take Need to know what the volotage and phase the generator is.
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.
For 3-core twin and earth cables up to 4 sq mm with reasonable air circulation, allow 8 amps per sq mm for copper and 5 amps per sq mm for aluminium. For permanent installations with high usage per day, use 4 amps per sq mm.
Cross section area =60x10=600Sqmm For copper we can utilised 2 amps per sqmm hence we can load upto 1200 amps easily.
it depend upon the length but for small length we can say 3 amp . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . <<>> 1 sq mm 3-core cable is rated at a maximum of 10 amps but for extended use of up to 6hr per day small cables should be rated at 4 amp per sq. mm, and for continuous use 2 amps per sq. mm..
is this the answer

475 amps, per NEC 310-16. Note that this is a maximum; there are many reasons to derate the current carrying capacity of the wire.

Copper wire current ratings assume 10 amps per mm2 for currents up to a few amps. 26 AWG wire has a cross sectional area of 0.13 mm2 so this logic says 1.3 amps.
i would use 2 ought if its for your home. go larger for commercial apps.
Cable for 19 amps continuous should have a cross-section area of 6 mm2.
On a 230 v supply assuming a volt-drop of 5% that is 11.5 v, so the maximum cable resistance is 11.5 / 40 in ohms, 0.2875 ohms so for 1000 metres of cable in total you need a cable that has 0.0002875 ohms of resistance per metre. Copper with a cross-section of 1 mm2 has resistance of 0.0168 ohms per metre so the size of cable needed is 0.0168 / 0.0002875 mm2, which is 58.43 mm2, so a cable of 60 mm2 should be selected.
1 mm2 aluminium wire is not easy to buy but 1 mm2 copper wire is rated at 10 amps. Since the conductivity of aluminium is 7/12 that of copper, 1 mm2 aluminium wire would be rated at 7½ amps max (the same amount of heat is produced per metre by a current of sqrt(7/12) times that for copper).
A 4 mm diameter copper wire with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 65 amps.
