The reply from "Hub" that the voltage did not matter is wrong. If you had a supply voltage of 24 Volts, and a 10 Volt drop in the power cord, that would be pretty much a loser. The same 10 Volt drop at 120 Volts would not be an issue under reasonable circumstances.
You do not size it for a number of volts drop, you size it for a
percentage of the stating voltage drop. That is why you only need to
know the amps and distance.
A percentage of a voltage that you don't care to know?
Maybe I just don't know how to determine the stating voltage?
