Answer Posted / md gufran yaqub

cable size for motor is decided based on
-rated load
-starting method and current withdrawn generally conductor
size is selected 2-3 times that of rated load
-length of cable and duty type decides the cable insulation
-obviously the cable rating should not be less than
protecting device
