Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.

Wire size is based on the amperage that the device draws. To find the amperage of any device use the following equation, Amps = Watts/Volts 2000/240 = 8.3 amps.

A #14 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 15 amps.

Wire size is based on amperage of the load. I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. As you can see with out a voltage stated an answer can not be given.

1500 watts at 120 volts will pull 12.5 amps. If you are wiring a 120 volt home circuit for this I would use AWG # 12 wire on a 20 amp breaker.
