    Is this a new 200 amp service or is it a 200 amp service to your house? What size service are planning to have in your shed?

    Using this on line calculator:

    Voltage Drop Calculator

    Assuming a 40 amp load at 240 volts arrives at:

    1 conductor per phase utilizing a #1 Aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to 2.83% or less when supplying 40.0 amps for 350 feet on a 240 volt system.
