Wire is sized by the amperage that it will carry. 5 kW is 5000 watts. The equation to find watts is W = Amps x Volts. The equation to find amps is Amps = Watts/Volts. As you can see a voltage is needed to calculate the amperage. Once the amperage is stated, the wire size can be given for that particular amperage.

∙ 12y agoWire sizing is based on amperage. Without the amperage of the load or the voltage of the circuit, this question can not be answered.
The size of the wire is stated by its gauge under American Wire Gauge. Six gauge wire is size 6 AWG.
Wire size is governed by amperage not voltage. Voltage is an insulation factor when talking about wire. Add up the amperage of fixtures you want in the circuit. Once that is found then the size of the wire can be calculated.
Use what is called bell wire or thermostat wire.
The minimum size wire that engineers spec for industrial and commercial installations is #12 and it usually is stranded not solid wire.
As with any electrical installation, the wire size used depends on the expected maximum current the wire will carry. That cannot be determined by voltage alone.
That would depend on the type of motor and the manufacturer.

Wire size refers to the physical dimensions of a wire, usually expressed in millimeters or inches. Gauge size, on the other hand, is a measurement of the wire's diameter based on a specific gauge system (such as AWG or SWG). So, while wire size refers to the actual physical dimensions, gauge size is a standardized measurement used for electrical wiring.
Wire size is the gauge (thickness of wire) hazard is almost anything not wired correctly.
Without knowing the nominal voltage rating, who can tell? <<>> The sizing of cables or conductors is based on the amperage that the conductor can safely carry. The formula for amperage is I = W/E. Amps = 12000/Volts. With out a voltage stated an answer to this question can not be answered. When you calculate the amperage, re-ask your question for a conductor size for a given amperage.

How to calculate current of star and delta moter with 55kw 380v 85%
10-32 unf-2a <<>> The wire size does not need to be calculated. Use a wire terminal end that crimps to the wire. These terminal end come in various wire sizes and bolt hole sizes. Pick the correct end for the wire size you are using and then in that wire size range, pick the correct bolt hole size that fits the bolt.
The insulation on a wire is applied after the wire is drawn to size.
Yes, in a residential 200 amp panel, the neutral wire is typically the same size as the hot wires. This is to ensure that the neutral wire can safely carry the same current as the hot wires and maintain proper balance in the electrical system. Always consult the National Electrical Code or a qualified electrician for specific requirements.
You size it by the current required by the secondary, and the primary will be smaller wire.
The frequency has no direct relationship to the size of wire. Wire is sized as to the amount of current a load draws in a circuit.
