What would you consider the maximum voltage drop for power tools using long extension cords? I plan on using a 10 amp sawzall at a distance of approximately 200 feet. I knew someone using a circular saw at a distance like this and it burned up the cord in saw. I plan on use a #14 cord. Is a 5% max drop a good rule of thumb? Thanks
