It depends on the current flowing in the wire. V=IR. The wires have resistance (easily calculated, approx. .32 ohms for 200 feet of wire (100 feet out and back)). If 20 amps are flowing in the circuit the the voltage drop is about 6.4 volts. That means you're converting electricity to heat in the wires at a rate of about 130 Watts. If less current is flowing then there is a smaller voltage drop in the wire.

Voltage drop would depend on the amperage draw of the device

Whats the permissible voltage drop in a 240V system?

You shouldn't really have much voltage "drop". If you do, it usually means that there is a poor connection somewhere along your service line or inside wiring. Any significant amount of voltage drop can mean that you are at risk of a fire. On the other hand, line voltage into a house may not actually be 240 VAC. Measure the ACTUAL voltage with everything turned off, then see where it goes when you start turning things back on. The difference between the supplied voltage and the load voltage is the voltage "drop".
