For 100kw which cable size is good and how to find out cable size?

100 kw is the power drawn by the load. to calculate the cable size you need to know the voltage. From that you can calculate the current. this decides the cable size. for example if the voltage is 400Volts then the current flowing in the circuit when the load is 100 KW will be 250 amps. (100,000/400). for 250 amps to flow with out causing excessive heating of the cable the cross sectional area of the copper cable should be 150 sq mm.for a round cross section the diameter will be roughly 15mm.

How many houses can a 30 kilowatts power?

A kw, or Killowatt = 8.7 amps. So, 30 x 8.7 = approximately 260 amps. A wall Air conditioner draws about 12-15 amps. A refrigerator about 10-12 amps, a 100 watt light bulb .87 amps or less than 1 amp. Houses typically have either a 100 amp main breaker or, 150 and up. In the old days, 60 amps was common. Your answer is, as many houses as it takes to use 260 amps. If it's for a generator, as backup, 4-8 houses to keep the required things working. BUT use a large cable to run the power. 260 amp cable is about 3 ought size. Good luck.

What wire size is used for 100 watt 12 volt lamp?

Volts * Amps = Watts 12 V * ?Amps = 100 Watts OR ? Amps =100W/12V OR 8.33 Amps = 100W/12V Use a 10Amp fuse inline and you can get by with 16Ga wire.
