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 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 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.
What is the average size of a cinder cone volcano?
100-1000ft
How to compute the size of wire with respect to the distance from circuit breaker to the load side?
Normally wire is sized by the amperage of the load. In this case the wire size is calculated by knowing the length of the run to the load and the amperage of the device to be connected. By knowing the length, the wire size has to be increased to allow for voltage drop over the distance from the supply to the load.
What size wire do you need for a 100amp braker?
Service entrance wire should be AWG #3 copper.
How much does amperage drop with distance?
It is dependant on the voltage being used, size of wire, distance of the run from the distribution and load connected at the other end.
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 gauge wire should you use for wiring a dock - in conduit - 350 ft at 220 volts?
That depends on the load. In other words how many amps does your load utilize or how many watts? Either figure will work. <<>> Wire size is based on amperage. The higher the load amperage the larger the wire size has to be. In this case also, the wire has to be increased in size to over come the voltage drop for the distance to the load. To receive an answer restate the question with the load amperage or wattage.
What affects Bed load particle size?

What are the main contributing factors that cause back injuries in the workplace?
Factors includesThe weight of the load lifted· The range of the lift· The location of the load in relation to the body· The size and shape of the load· Distance and duration the load is carried· The number and frequency of lifts performed

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.
