Voltage Drop

[tacomafc]

Please help it has been a while since I had to do this. What size conductor do I need for this. The voltage is 120v, the load is 1600w, the distance is 300ft, Thank you

I thought I understood the question, until you added this.

I used a spreadsheet calculator to determine that a #6 would give you just under 4 volts, or a 3% voltage drop. That would suffice for most purposes.

How have you been trying to do this?
