In most cases, you should start be reading the instrument manufacturer's instructions. They will usually tell you what size of wire and type of shielding may be needed. The local electrical code may govern any power wiring, and any control wiring above a certain voltage. Low-voltage sensor wiring depends mostly on shielding requirements.
