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.

How big is 6 gauge wire?
The size of the wire is stated by its gauge under American Wire Gauge. Six gauge wire is size 6 AWG.
What size wire is required for 277 volt fluorescent lighting?
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.
What size wire to use to install a thermostat?
Use what is called bell wire or thermostat wire.
What is the minimum wire size used in a commercial building?
The minimum size wire that engineers spec for industrial and commercial installations is #12 and it usually is stranded not solid wire.
What is the wire size for 208 volt?
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.
What size for 55kw motor in mm?
That would depend on the type of motor and the manufacturer.

What information does the dryer wire size chart provide for selecting the appropriate wire size for installation?
The dryer wire size chart provides information on the recommended wire size based on the electrical requirements of the dryer, such as voltage and amperage. This helps in selecting the appropriate wire size for safe and efficient installation of the dryer.
Explain wire size as opposed to gauge size?
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.
What is the recommended wire size for a 220 volt circuit according to the 220 volt wire size chart?
The recommended wire size for a 220 volt circuit according to the 220 volt wire size chart is typically 10 gauge wire for a circuit with a maximum of 30 amps.
