At that distance you will have a voltage drop of 81.25 volts if you use the recommended #6 wire on a 240 volt, 100 amp single phase circuit. Therefore I recommend you contact you electric utility and let them figure the voltage drop and the size wire required to safely run this distance. Using too small a wire can damage the electronics at the end of the run.
What else can I help you with?
What size wire do you need for a 100amp braker?
Service entrance wire should be AWG #3 copper.
What would cause high voltage drop readings?
High resistance on the feeder to the load will cause voltage drop at the load end of the circuit. If this is happening, do the calculations for voltage drop, using the amperage of the load, voltage of the load, the size of the wire feeding the load and the distance from the distribution panel to the load.
What is the maximum allowable conductor fill of any trade size conduit used as a raceway?
It depends on the wiring, the current load in the wiring , and the distance. The NEC Code book has the charts for this.And the size of the conduit.
What percentage is the maximum allowable conductor fill of any trade size conduit used as a raceway?
It depends on the wiring, the current load in the wiring , and the distance. The NEC Code book has the charts for this.And the size of the conduit.
What size electric wire for 28 amp load?
AWG # 10
How many feathers can fit in 1000ft x 1000ft x 500ft box?
It depends on the size of the feathers. They vary greatly in size: from the wing feathers of some birds to the downy feathers of others.

Service entrance wire should be AWG #3 copper.
How to compute the size of wire with respect to the distance from circuit breaker to the load side?
To compute the size of wire based on the distance from the circuit breaker to the load side, you need to consider the voltage drop along the wire due to its resistance. Use voltage drop calculations to determine the appropriate wire size that will ensure a permissible voltage drop over the distance. Factors like current carrying capacity, material of wire, and other environmental considerations also play a role in determining the wire size. Consulting national electrical codes or using online calculators can help in selecting the right wire size.
What would cause high voltage drop readings?
High resistance on the feeder to the load will cause voltage drop at the load end of the circuit. If this is happening, do the calculations for voltage drop, using the amperage of the load, voltage of the load, the size of the wire feeding the load and the distance from the distribution panel to the load.
What is the recommended wire size for a 100amp electrical circuit?
The recommended wire size for a 100 amp electrical circuit is typically 3 AWG copper or 1/0 AWG aluminum.
What affects Bed load particle size?

How much does amperage drop with distance?
Amperage drop with distance depends on the resistance of the conductor and the load. As distance increases, resistance increases, leading to higher voltage drop. This can result in lower amperage at the end of the circuit compared to the source. Use Ohm's Law (V=IR) to calculate the amperage drop based on the resistance and distance.
What size diesel generator would you need if there was a power outage?
The size of the generator is based on the size of the load you want to supply. Size up the load in watts or amps along with what phase (single or three) and voltage that the load requires. These are needed to give a complete answer.
What size breaker would i use to add a 100amp subpanel?
Any size two pole breaker up to the value of 100 amps. Just make sure that the wire used to connect to the sub panel from the main panel is of a size to correspond to the breaker size. Wire amperages at 90 degrees C are, 30 amp #10, 40 amp #8, 55 amp #6, 95 amps #4,110 amps #3. Also keep in mind to look and see if the sub panel is rated at 100% or 80% load capacity. If it is only 80% load capacity then reduce the amperage rating of the conductors by 80% to obtain their new capacity rating.
