For S9, the power consumption is 1323W (13.5TH/s batch).. say 1400W. At 220V supply, load current is 6.4A plus 10% at the wall for efficiency.. so around 7.1A.

Wire size should be 1.5mm2 as per NEC wire sizing for 7.1A load. That makes your wire undersize for your load if it is only 0.75mm2 that is why it gets hot.

Better get thicker wire size to match your load current and that is 1.5mm2 to be safe.
