The cable size depends on a few factors, such as the supply voltage, the method of starting the motor, (direct-on-line, or star delta) and the length of cable required to compensate for voltage drop. Also, if the cable is copper or aluminum.
110 kW motor has a rated current of 200 amps at 415 volts, so the correct copper cable size would have a cross-sectional area of 75 square mm., if the motor is started direct-on-line.
At 660 volts, the rated current would be 118 volts and the cable size would be 35 square mm.
Need to know what the voltage of the motor is.
you need the current of motor or the KW/HP rating
110 volts divided by 1,300 watts(1.3 kw) = .09 kw or 900 watts.

As the motor is drawing 9.7×110 = 1,067 watts (or 1.067 kW), and delivering 1.25×746 watts (or .9325 kW) of mechanical energy, it should release 1,067-932.5 = 134.5 watts (or .1345 kW) of heat.

For a 37 kW induction motor, a cable size of approximately 10 AWG (American Wire Gauge) would be suitable for typical installations. However, the specific cable size required would depend on factors such as the length of the cable run, ambient temperature, and voltage drop considerations. It is recommended to consult with a qualified electrician to determine the appropriate cable size for your specific application.

This is a voltage drop question. To answer this question a voltage must be given.
As the motor is drawing 9.7×110 = 1,067 watts (or 1.067 kW), and delivering 1.25×746 watts (or .9325 kW) of mechanical energy, it should release 1,067-932.5 = 134.5 watts (or .1345 kW) of heat.
Yes I could. How?
Find out how much current the motor draws, then look up wire tables to find out the size of wire. Ask an electrician if you are not unfamiliar with this because working at 6.6 kV is definitely lethal for the unqualified.
Assuming it is a 400 V three-phase motor, the phase current is 11 amps, or more if the power factor is less than 1.0 (or the supply voltage is different). If it is a 400 V motor the cable should be capable of carrying 16 amps, so a 2.5 mm-sq 4-core cable is needed.
Ah, what a delightful question! For an 11 kW 3-phase motor, you'll want to use a cable size that can handle the current it requires. Typically, a motor like this would need around a 6mmΒ² cable for safe and efficient operation. Just remember to always consult a professional electrician to ensure everything is done properly and safely. Happy wiring, my friend!
100 kw is the power drawn by the load. to calculate the cable size you need to know the voltage. From that you can calculate the current. this decides the cable size. for example if the voltage is 400Volts then the current flowing in the circuit when the load is 100 KW will be 250 amps. (100,000/400). for 250 amps to flow with out causing excessive heating of the cable the cross sectional area of the copper cable should be 150 sq mm.for a round cross section the diameter will be roughly 15mm.
