Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.

Wire size is based on the amperage that the device draws. To find the amperage of any device use the following equation, Amps = Watts/Volts 2000/240 = 8.3 amps.

A #14 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 15 amps.

Wire size is based on amperage of the load. I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. As you can see with out a voltage stated an answer can not be given.

1500 watts at 120 volts will pull 12.5 amps. If you are wiring a 120 volt home circuit for this I would use AWG # 12 wire on a 20 amp breaker.

What you using wire gauge in mm on 1kilowatt?

Wire gauge is determined by the capacity in amps. At 120 volts it requires 8.33 amps to provide 1000 watts. The typical residential application would require 18 AWG wire 1.024 mm in diameter.
