Work out max current using formula Current = Power / Voltage

Then use this table

400 amps 00 awg
325 amps 0 awg
250 amps 1 awg
200 amps 2 awg
125 amps 4 awg
80 amps 6 awg
50 amps 8 awg
30 amps 10 awg
20 amps 12 awg
15 amps 14 awg
7.5 amps 16 awg

If ur current is in between two values in the table, use the bigger wire (smaller number)
