A #6 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 2% or less when supplying 50 amps for 80 feet on a 240 volt system.

For a 240 volt, 25 amp circuit over 50 feet, a recommended wire gauge would be AWG 10 copper wire to ensure safe and efficient operation with minimal voltage drop. This gauge provides adequate capacity to handle the current while keeping the voltage within acceptable limits. Be sure to consult local electrical codes and regulations for specific requirements.

A #10 wire with an insulation factor of 60,75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 30 amps.
