Can someone do me a quick sanity check as I cant believe my figures:

3 phase plasma cutter 30m from board

Machine specs state 10a continuous load and protect with a 25a type d mcb.

I'm not sure about my figures as I've got it to 2.5mm SWA ?????? I'm sure I've missed something out

 
I Got 2.5mm - Thermosetting SWA and 4mm General Purpose PVC SWA

Supply voltage = 400 Volts

Ib - design current = 10 Amps

Protective device type = MCB typeD

In - protective device rating = 25 Amps

Length of run of cable = 30 meters

Power factor = 1

Cable Type : Thermosetting 90
