What is meant by 4-core CY cable?

Clive would i be right in saying that the 2.5 would be ok to power the spindle? from the spindle to the VFD

2.5mm will be fine I take it that it is a 2.2Kw spindle I personally would use 1.5mm but others might say not. ..Clive

Yeah its the 2.2Kw might aswell bulk it up incase anything changes.

The trouble with 2.5mm is the connecting in to the plug on the spindle and 1.5mm will carry in the region of 18A which is more than enough. Good luck with the build. ..Clive

Crap i forgot abut that, thanks for the heads up

I'm with Clive 1.5mm is fine for spindle and much easier as you can use same cable used on motors even thou only 3 wires are used. Can use 4th wire for an earth if you like but personally I don't bother as never needed to.!
