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.
3 core 4 Sq.mm cable is sufficient for 7.5 HP motor.

Type your answer here... for 7.5 kw motor,10 sq mm aluminum or 6 to 8 sq mm copper cabal is sufficient
Cable size is based on amperage. The formula for amperage is I W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. As you can see without a voltage given this question can not be answered.
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.
HP/.00134= Watts Then Watts divided by Volts = AMPS For expample. a .75 HP electric motor running on 220VAC uses 2.544 amps .75 / .00134 = 559.7015 Watts then 559.7015 / 220 = 2.544
The answer is that it depends upon the a. efficiency (to determine its input power). b. supply voltage. c. nature of the supply (single-phase, three-phase, d.c., etc.)
75 HP = 55 KW 55 = 31/2 x 0.220 x I x cos φ = 31/2 x 0.220 x 0.8 x I I = 55/(31/2 x 0.220 x 0.8) = 180,42 A 3 x 70 mm2 is the size of cable for 75 HP 220 Volts 3 phase motor
Use this formula to find amperage when kW is shown. Amps = kW x 1000/1.73 x Volts x pf. Use a power factor of .85 for the formula. Once the current is calculated re-ask the question for cable size for the calculated current.

500 amp breaker with 250 mcm cu conductors, NEC list this motor as drawing 192 amps X 250% = 480amps go to the next standard size of breaker which would be a 500.
cable size for 90 amps 3 phase 440 v <<>> A #3 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 100 and 105 amps respectively. If this feeder is for a motor connection the wire size has to be increased to 125% of the full load amps of the motor.

Allowable ampacities for not more that 3 copper conductors in a cable based on an ambient temperature of 30 degrees C. A #1 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 130 and 140 amps respectively.

Wire sizing is based on the motors full load amperage. The amperage can be calculated but a voltage has to be stated. I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. Restate the question with a voltage and an answer can be given.
At least 50mm but with all the de-rating factors it might be 70mm that's if its 2 cable single phase non armoured clipped direct. Check out the tables dopey!!!! FYI 50 mm = 2 inches, 70 mm = 2.75 inches these are not wire sizes, sound more like cable outside diameters. Correct answer The wire size is dependant on the insulation factor on the wire. A few common insulations and corresponding wire sizes for 150 amps are - Size 0 R90 good for 155 amps, also with insulations of RW 75, TWH, TW75, good for 150 amps. Size 000 TW good for 165 amps.
