Or poorly made off terminations which arc and cause a fire which kills or maims people and destroys buildings.
Just as a matter of interest, how do you propose to theoretically wire this theoretical 200A machine on a theoretical 140A supply and a theoretical 800A start up current?
I'd be very interested to see your calculations.

I'll have nightmares tonight where there'll be running and screaming.

Well 140 amps not enough so need upgrade for starters.
 
I was asking if it is possible to have a 200amp machine with 800amp startup. Nothing to do with 140 supply. Obviously it's not big enough
Yes that's what you wrote but the underlying question was ...... you know what, I can't be bothered with this any more.
I hope you don't kill anyone in your quest for adequacy

No table I just know the conductivity of the armour is around 4.0mm² copper equivalent so 6.0mm² will be fine.
