That would need a busbar, an aluminium one with a cross section of 1 cm by 9 cm (or larger).

A 600 MCM copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 475 amps.
A 300 MCM copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 320 amps.
A 3/0 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 225 amps.
These size wires can be installed in parallel 600 MCM, tripled for 300 MCM or grouped in four 3/0 wires groups to achieve the amperage required.
Special parallel, three barrel and four barrel lugs have to be used to make the connection to the required load.
You will need to use #8 wire.
The amp size of a wire is determined by its gauge, not the number of wires. An 8-gauge wire is typically rated for around 40-60 amps, depending on the type and insulation of the wire.
If the full load amps rating of the motor on the name plate is exactly 15 amps you need to use # 12 wire. If it is a longer run you may have to go up one more wire size. The breaker size you need is 30 amps.
Look on the heater and see what amps it is pulling. That will determine the wire size and breaker size. It must be on a dedicated circuit. 15 amps = AWG # 14 wire with 15 amp breaker 20 amps = AWG # 12 wire with 20 amp breaker 30 amps = AWG # 10 wire with 30 amp breaker 40 amps = AWG # 8 wire with 40 amp breaker
A #14 wire will do fine for grounding a 20 amp device. That is the size of the ground wire in a 2 conductor # 12 wire building cable.
For a 30 amp breaker, you will need a wire that is at least 10 gauge in size.
For a 50 amp breaker, you would typically need a 6-gauge wire.
For a 50 amp breaker, you will need a wire that is at least 6 gauge in size to safely handle the electrical load.
You will need to use #8 wire.
2AWG.
8 AWG is typical.
For a 100-amp service, you will typically need a wire size of 2/0 or 3/0 copper or 4/0 aluminum. It is recommended to consult with a licensed electrician to determine the exact wire size needed for your specific installation.
The appropriate wire size for a 20 amp circuit is typically 12-gauge wire.
The appropriate wire size for a 25 amp breaker is typically 10 gauge wire.
For a 25 amp circuit, the appropriate wire size is typically 10 gauge wire.
The appropriate wire size for a 30 amp breaker is typically 10 gauge wire.
The appropriate wire size for a 30 amp circuit is typically 10 gauge wire.
