Which thickness CY cable do I need for 1.5kW spindle?

[JAZZCNC]

Generally speaking, yes, 0.75mm2 is enough for most cases for the spindle, but why use something as thin as that if 1.5mm2 is safer, stronger, not much heavier, better suited for the purpose and hardly much more expensive. Can you come up with ONE good reason other than most people don't continually use up more than 5A?

I could but won't get into slanging match with someone so narrow minded. I'm also not saying I would have used 0.75mm2 because I wouldn't have. However only because I have 1.0mm2 & 1.5mm2 which use all the time. If I'd only had 0.75mm would have used it.

The point of my first post was more to re-assure the OP "Bee" that his choice, which he'd already purchased before you posted would be fine. This by now he surely knows because some Muppet started up the thread again 3 mth's after he posted.!!
