There is nothing in the MRC that deals with a continuous load which I am assuming a kiln would be (operating for three hours or more) so we need to go to the NEC and the NEC would have us apply the 125% rule. Hence 47a. times 1.25 is 58.75a. Wire size would be #6 cu or #4 al with a 60a. overcurrent device.
