You have supplied the power value (kW) and not the supply voltage value, but it is the current value (Amperes) that has to be known when determining the cable size i.e. A=P÷V e.g. 3000W ÷ 230V = 13.04A or 3000 ÷ 120V = 25A

Also the type of cable insulation is important as well.

Hi @adarshmohanty,
What voltage supply being used?
Power (watts) = voltage (Volts) x current (Amps).
You have supplied the power but not the voltage, but it is the current value (Amperes) that has to be known when determining the cable size.
Also the type of cable insulation is important as well.
