    Vm17 wire size

    Hello everyone
    I have a vm17 and been having trouble getting enough power to run the machine. Think I have that figured out but my question is does anyone know what size wire do I need to run to the machine? This is my first cnc machine. I have a mill and a lathe but I run those on vfd and it really doesn’t take very big wire. The machine says 69 kva. Just curious what you all run on your machines? If you need more information just let me know. Thanks in advance.

    Look at the power plate near where electrical cables come to the machine, it should specify the Voltage required as well as the amperage for the service. Virtually all machines come with these plates.
