If I remember correctly the amp Manufacturer will also tell you what sizes to use.
Oh I think it's been asked and 10 times. What amps are you using?

Hopefully, a chart based on cable length. Longer the run, larger the cable. That's why you use a voltage drop calculator.

That's why I use big cables that can carry extra smoke in them. 👍🤔
