What wire size to use from VFD to 2.2kW spindle?

We use 16 AWG wires between the spindle and the VFD. This wire size has a maximum capacity for 22 Amps, a good buffer to eliminate any possibility for overheating. The 2.2kW using 220V may draw up to 10 Amps (220 x 10 = 2200). That is, all three wires are sharing the total current draw.
