If I have:

A) A 125HP VFD rated @ 480V with nameplate input current of 182A and output current of 165A
B) A 150HP motor rated @ 440V with FLA = 162A, p.f. = 0.86

How would I size my conductors:

1. Between the feeder panel and VFD?
2. Between the VFD and motor?

Why?

I have a specific line of conductors that I can use for these circuits and need to know what ampacity to use for each cable run.
