Dual Conductor Supply
If you are using two conductors (one supply wire, one return wire), the following table will help you determine your total voltage drop across the cable.

Voltage Drop using Single Supply/Single Return
Example: Your power supply is 200 feet (61 meters) away from the
Voltage Drop = #Feet * Voltage Drop/Foot = 200 * 0.041 = 8.2 volts
