Single core vs multi-core motor cables for high-performance spindles

Motor cables more or less always have the same structure. Depending on requirements, single core or multicore motor cables are used. Both types of cables are suitable for high loads. So, what is the difference?
Spindle drives in processing and machine tools are becoming increasingly larger and more demanding in terms of performance and thus energy supply. As a result, larger cable cross-sections and thicker motor cables are required. To that end, however, the cables and the energy chain no longer fit into the existing installation space of the machine. The cables need to change.
