We got a used cnc lathe in and i just want to make sure i am sizing the wire correctly.
Nameplate says 32KVA 3 Phase 220V
It has a 150A mccb, i don't size the wire to this, right?
I size the wire using the nameplate KVAx1000 / 220x1.73.
32000/380.6 = 84amps
Using the 75 degree c column i could use 4awg thhn rated 85amps
We have some 2awg thhn laying around so i will probaly use that but could i use 4awg?
Is there anything else i need to consider?
Thanks for any input.
