Wire gauge for a 200 ft run on 30 amps or 50 amps?
Anybody has a good calculator for wire gauge? I need to do a wire run of 200ft buried wire. I can do 50amps or 30amps. Any advise will be greatly appreciated!

3% Max Voltage drop for that 200' run
Otherwise you will have Low Voltage any time the supply voltage drops below 115V
50A #1AWG
30A #3AWG
Do NOT scrimp on the wire size...........
Thanks and thanks for the advise!
