To answer this question a voltage value must be stated. Divide the voltage into 50 KVA and your answer will be in amps.
3/0 gauge
AWG # 14 is the smallest wire you can install in a home and it can only be used in living areas. It will carry 15 amps.
6 AWG will handle 50 amps with a voltage drop of about 4 volts. If you go to 4 AWG and limit to 50 amps your voltage drop will be 2.5 volts.
The equation for amperage when the kilowatts are known is Amps = kVA x 1000/1.73 x Volts.The electrical code states that a feeder for a transformer has to be rated at 125% for the primary and secondary load amperages.The amperage on the primary needed to supply a 70 KVA three phase transformer to its full capacity at 600 will be 68 amps. 68 x 125% = 85 amps. A #4 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 95 amps.The amperage on the secondary needed to supply a 70 KVA three phase transformer to its full capacity at 480 will be 84 amps. 84 x 125% = 105 amps. A # 3 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 115 amps.
