I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts = 6500/240 = 27 amps. A #10 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 30 amps. If the load is continuous the conductor can only be loaded to 80% of its capacity. 30 x 80% = 24 amps which is too low for your load. Move to the next size wire which is a #8 which is rated at 40 amps x 80% = 32 amps. As long as no long distance runs are involved this wire size will work well.
