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 is cable size for a 55kw 3 pH?
50 sq.mm of aluminium and 25 to 35 sq.mm of copper
When is wire size and electrical hazard?
Wire size is the gauge (thickness of wire) hazard is almost anything not wired correctly.
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.
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 is the cable size for 55kw motor on 3 phase?
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.
Does copper wire insulate?
The insulation on a wire is applied after the wire is drawn to size.
How to calculate the best wire size to use with a 10-32 UNF-2A thread?
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.
What is mean by electrical sag?
How to calculate current of star and delta moter with 55kw 380v 85%
How do you size wire for a step down transformer?
You size it by the current required by the secondary, and the primary will be smaller wire.
What size of wire should be used for 60Hz?
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.
Ground wire size for 200?
The size of the ground wire for a circuit is typically based on the size of the circuit breaker protecting that circuit. For a 200 amp circuit breaker, the recommended ground wire size is 4/0 AWG (American Wire Gauge) copper wire. This wire size helps ensure that the ground wire can safely carry any fault currents that may occur in the electrical system.
