Cable size depends upon current carrying capacity and operating Voltage of Machine to select cable size also the Distance from the Supply Panel to Machine and way of laying cable under ground or on cable tray. These entire factors are required to calculate the cable size. If you don’t want to go to deep calculation simple cable chart is available with current rating.
