    Post back with the distance and amps. I have asked to have this moved to electrical and lighting. Our expert there, tkrussell, will give a reliable answer. I wouldn't trust anybody else.

    The information needed is:

    Supply Voltage
    Single Phase or Three Phase
    Total continuous maximum load listed in amperes, wattage, KW, or KVA.
    Distance of conductor.
    Copper or aluminum wire.
    Location of conductors, overhead, underground, etc.
