I have about 70' I have to run three phases. I was going to use 8 gauge, but I knew I had some wire at home. I looked in my garage and found a few hundred feet of 10 gauge. I don't want to drop a lot of voltage. Do most of you think this will be ok for such a short run?
Using theory it seems I will be more than fine. I went to this calculator http://www.stealth316.com/2-wire-resistance.htm
and found the drop to be less than half a volt for 70' and an average of 5 amps. Does this sound right from those with experience.
