From the controller to the power supply you can use any 2 wire cable. It is not carrying current but a digital signal, shielding is not necessary.

From the Power supply to the Retarder you should gauge it same as the mains wires (which will depend on the mains fuse and rules in your country).

@admin should the retarder wires be shielded?

@osi, it is not normally necessary if you route the power carrying wires away from the signal wires and the instrument unit.
