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.
For a 0.75 kW single-phase induction motor at 210 volts with a 60-meter run, the recommended cable size would typically be around 2.5 mm² for copper cables, considering standard practices for voltage drop and current carrying capacity. It's essential to account for the full load current, which is approximately 3.6 A for a 0.75 kW motor. Additionally, local electrical codes and installation conditions should also be taken into consideration when selecting the appropriate cable size. Always consult a qualified electrician or engineer for precise specifications based on your installation.
To calculate the cable size for a 100 kW load, you would need to consider factors such as the voltage of the system, the type of cable insulation, the ambient temperature, and the installation method. The cable size is typically determined by the maximum current the cable will carry without overheating. Using the formula: Cable size (mm²) = (2 x L x I x R) / (√3 x V x cosΦ), where L is the cable length, I is the load current, R is the resistance of the cable, V is the voltage, and cosΦ is the power factor, you can calculate the appropriate cable size for the 100 kW load.
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.
