To safely carry 35 amps for a 12V DC system, you would need a wire size of at least 8 AWG. This gauge wire can handle up to 40 amps for power transmission over reasonable lengths without significant voltage drop or overheating issues. It's always recommended to consult with a professional electrician to ensure proper sizing and installation for your specific application.
A 10-gauge wire can typically handle around 30-35 amps of current. It is important to consult the National Electric Code and wire manufacturer specifications to determine the maximum current carrying capacity of a specific wire in a given installation.
A 4 mm diameter copper wire with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 65 amps.
For a 120V 20A motor, you would typically use a 12-gauge wire to ensure it can handle the current without overheating. This wire size is suitable for the amperage and voltage to provide proper insulation and safe operation for the motor.
You will need to use #8 wire.
For a 240 volt circuit at 40 amps, you should use 8-gauge wire. This wire size is rated to safely carry 40 amps of current and is suitable for most residential applications. Be sure to consult local electrical codes and regulations before undertaking any wiring project.
A 10-gauge wire can typically handle around 30-35 amps of current. It is important to consult the National Electric Code and wire manufacturer specifications to determine the maximum current carrying capacity of a specific wire in a given installation.
The nearest AWG wire size to 50 sq. mm is 1/0. A 1/0 aluminium conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 180 and 205 amps respectively.

A #12 copper conductor with a insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 20 amps. For 110 degrees C 35 amps, 125 degrees C 40 amps and for 200 degrees C 40 amps.
Kia forums indicate a group 24 or 35 (which is higher in amps) for the Sorento.
7200 VA at 208 volts is 35 amperes. You can cover that with AWG8 wire, which is rated 40 amperes. However, 40 amperes does not give you the required 25% margin specified in the NEC so you have to go to the next larger wire size, AWG6, which is rated 50 amperes.You can use a 40 ampere circuit breaker, but you mustuse 50 ampere rated conductors in the branch wiring.
