The sizing of wire is calculated by the amount of current the circuit draws. To find the amperage when the wattage is known use the following formula, Amps = Watts/Volts. 6500/240 = 27 amps.

A #10 AWG copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less, when supplying 27 amps at 240 volts for a 100 foot distance.
