    When do I have to start to worry about voltage drop in a feeder? 200 ft? 500 ft?
    I have run a sub feed to a 125 amp panel with 1/0 aluminum ser cable, 400 ft. This is a 120/208 volt single phase application. Is this o.k.

    What is the calculated load in amps? Voltage drop calcs require the amps to complete.
