On a voltage drop question, the voltage of the system needs to be stated. The answer is for a three wire 240 volt North American system.
A 3/0 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 2% or less when supplying 200 amps for 150 feet on a 240 volt system.

∙ 12y ago2/0 AWG for 200 Amps in Copper. For 150 FT suggest you may want to go to 3/0.
4/0 in Aluminum and suggest 225 kcmil for 150 ft. in Aluminum.

∙ 10y agoI would use AWG # 3/0 copper and you will have a 1.9% voltage drop which is within the acceptable limits.

∙ 10y agoNormally you would use AWG #12. But for this distance I would recommend you use AWG #10 on a 20 amp breaker for the home run.

How many amps will 10-2 wire carry at 40 feett?
30 amps is how much a 10-2 wire will carry at 110 feet. 10 gauge wire is only good for thirty amps per the national electrical code. Using 80% of the breakers usage you will actually be getting only 24 amps.
Will awg 10 wire carry 30 amps for 30feet?
Yes, a #10 wire will carry 30 amps for 30 feet. If the load is rated as continuous then the wire will have to be derated to 80% capacity which will leave you with 24 workable amps. If the load demands currents higher that 24 amps then you will have to go to the next wire size up which is a #8 which is rated at 45 amps.
