The supply cable could be 4 core armoured.

Eddy Do you not think that this is a bit OTT as on these type of VFD's there is not the provision to connect wire armoured cable with a separate box. I don't know of anybody in a DIY situation that would use it. Just my two cents worth ..Clive

This is going to sound rich coming from ME but come on Lads don't turn it into an argument and pyshics lesson so to confuse the Man.

Bush Flyer 1.0mm/2 is fine for these Spindles and what I've fitted many times without any issues even on heavy use machines but if you want to cross I's & Dot the T's then use 1.5mm/2.

2.5mm/2 for the VFD Input. If near heavy traffic or chance of damage etc then armoured if not then just use 2.5 Flex not ridged mains cable.

It's recommended that the supply cable also has a screen so I was meaning the supply cable to the control panel enclosure which I assumed would be metal and wall mounted. Just because people keep saying it's DIY I'm not into dumbing things down. I would suggest the supply be fed by a 16 amp minimum supply, if you want a plug and socket then it's the blue type.
