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!

If you use 200', 240v, 35 amps, 3% in the calculator you only need #6 wire. This still allows two large draw items on each side of the panel and plenty of ampacity if you draw close to 50 amps for a few minutes.
