I'm a new member who would appreciate some advice. I have a project to wire pole lights (security motion sensor controlled 175watt halogens totalling around 19 amps @120v.) The distance from panel to furthest pole is about 600 feet. I tried the voltage drop calculator -something like #1awg .This is definately not cost effective.Does anyone know if acceptable voltage drop can be higher than 3% (branch circuit) and still opperate the lights ? Thanks, sparkympk.
