  1. art didn't address number of wires.

    You need 3 plus a ground for 3 phase delta connection, or 4 plus ground for 3 phase Y connection.


  2. I=160 amperes, full load amperes.

    3-phase

    Cable size is 3-conductor No.30 mm2 copper stranded rated 5,000volts cable and 90 deg C.

    Resistance = 0.619 per kilometer(30/1000)

                         =0.01 ohms

    I.IR =160(160)(0.01)

           =256 watts,

    IR =160(0.01)

         = 1.6 volts, negligible voltage drop.

    A smaller wire may be used for grounding,No.14 mm2.
