What cable section is needed to connect a 9 kW electric boiler?

Nikolai asks:
Hello! In a house of 100 m2 it is planned to install an electric three-phase boiler of 9 kW. What cable section is needed to connect the boiler, and what cable section is needed for input from the meter (380) from the street to the house?
The answer to the question:
Hello! Three-phase consumer current is considered as follows:

9000 / (380 * 1.73) = 13.6A.

Then 2.5 mm² wires are more than enough. I don’t know what wire you need from the meter. That he 380 says nothing. You should at least indicate that a volt, not an ampere. See the value of the input machine and read the current using the same formula. If there are standard 15 kW, then at least 4 mm², you can 6 mm² (it will not be worse, but no longer needed).
