We are working on a project where the electrical engineer is using a Buck Boost Transformer to correct the voltage due to the distance from the electrical panel. We feel that it will not work but unable to prove or disprove that we will have the correct voltage at the receptacle.
The incoming voltage is 120-volt, 1-phase circuit, distance from the panel to the buck boost transformer is 1,300-ft and they are specifing #10AWG wire. They indicate to provide 120V/120V 2KVA buck boost transformer and showing a electrical load of 720VA. From the transformer to the receptacle is another 300-ft with #10AWG.
I've read some of the buck boost transformers can boost/correct the voltage by up to 25% but I've was unable to determine/confirm if this will work.
