Just to clarify, the calculations I provided in this post aren't
FUD, unless you're able to dismiss the yellow Ugly electrician
reference book.

If it says you have voltage drop without load, it SHOULD be
dismissed.

You have voltage drop due to the length and size of the wire. Because
the wire isn't a super conductor.

At the end of the day, you might have put 120 volts on the line, but,
100ft down that line, you aren't getting 120 volts. Some has been lost
on the wire, due to the wires own resistance.

Switch from AC to DC with no other changes, and the voltage drop is
more pronounced.
Absolutely totally 110% wrong.. There is NO voltage drop withouit
current flow.

You are WAY in over your head.

We should also point out that it's more BS that the voltage drop would
be more pronounced if we switched from AC to DC. It would be exactly
the same, excluding negligible second order effects like skin effect,
inductance, etc. And those produce the reverse effect, ie more resistance
to AC current than DC.
