Voltage drop: total voltage drop allowed is 11.5 (5% of 230V)
Therefore, 11.5 - 2.5 = 9V

Vc = 1000xVD divided by ampsxlength
= 1000x9 / 23x15
= 26.09 (single phase)
26.09 x 0.866 = 22.59 (three phase)

Therefore use table to find Vc value at 75 degrees
22.59 lies in between 2 values, use the smaller value = 2.5mm cable

Hopefully that helps
