That depends on the voltage of the motor and the circuit. A 40 HP motor is a fairly large motor. If you don't know the answer to your own question, it's unlikely that you're qualified to wire it. Better consult and/or hire a qualified commercial electrician.
6 gauge if it is a very short distance.
what is the full load amps for 2.4 hp motor at 460 volts ?
how much copper in 250 hp motor
To answer this question an amperage has to be supplied. Wire size is based on the capacity of amperage it can legally conduct. This regulation is laid out in the electrical code book. To get installations passed by the electrical inspector these rules have to be followed.
SPL means the motor is Split-Phase, on the motor where you found that it should have two numbers, i.e. 120/240 SPL HP. Meaning the motor operates different given 120 volts compared with 240 volts.

just stay with the 50 to 1 ratio and you can't go wrong.
For a 2 hp motor, it is recommended to use a wire gauge of either 12 or 10 AWG for typical household applications. However, it is always best to consult the motor's specification sheet or a qualified electrician to ensure the correct wire size is used based on the specific requirements of the motor and the installation.
For a 7.5 hp motor operating at 240V, you would typically use a 14-gauge wire and a 40 amp breaker. However, it is best to consult the motor's specifications and the National Electrical Code to determine the exact wire size and breaker needed for your specific setup.

The wire size and the circuit breaker for a 125 hp motor must consider the length of lead wire to the motor (essentially the distance of the motor from the supply). 125 hp is a VERY large motor and would be used only in industrial applications. You will need to consult a technician for proper advice, but the general answer to your question follows: The current draw on such a large motor would be approximately 300 amps. That is very large, and would require a wire size of 0000 AWG or 750M. 0000 AWG is 0.46 inches (11.68 mm) in diameter. As you can see, the wire is very large. It is not something you could install yourself.
The HP of a motor is determined by the manufacturer of the motor. The after market user or engineer then determines what size of HP is needed to operate their type of designed equipment. When the customer buys the equipment needed for their type of manufacturing an electrician is hired to connect the equipment to the electrical system. The electrician then determine the overload protection, wire size and voltage drop on long conductor runs.
The amount of copper in a particular motor is not determined by horsepower only, there is no relationship between the total weight of MAGNET WIRE to the HORSEPOWER of an electric motor. Determining factors are the vintage, frame, make, speed, and frame designation.
there isn't any water involed its an air cooled motor atleast mine is.
