70mm 4core copper cable
Need to know the voltage to give you a good answer.
5 amps
6mm2 cable is rated at 40amps
The motor would draw about 24 kVA which is 35 amps. For this you would need 10 mm2 cable.
A 0.15Cu cable has a rating of 382 amps summer and 476 amps winter. 0.2Cu allows 425/530 amps. That is for outdoor use in overhead lines.
Allowable ampacities for not more that 3 copper conductors in a cable based on an ambient temperature of 30 degrees C. A #1 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 130 and 140 amps respectively.
The motor would draw about 24 kVA which is 35 amps. For this you would need 10 mm2 cable.
The 240 sq. mm cable has a diameter of 17.48 mm. It can carry up to 425 Amps current in a duct and up to 520 Amps in open air.
445 amps. For example Mulberry AAAC cable.
Current or AMPS are what the appliance draws or load of the appliance. So, if you have a say 10,000 amps going thru a cable rated for say 1,000 amps , guess what ,the cable over heats and either will melt or at least catch fire.
A parallel run of 750 MCM AWG conductors will handle 1000 amps. if we want 1000amps to flow, 250sqmm cable is enough.
