How do you calculate the cable size for a run of 30 meters?
to calculate the cable size of a run of 30 meters long you first will have to know the current of the appliance use the voltage drop formula V d = (mVxIxL)/1000 once the voltage drop is less than 2.5% of the nominal voltage, the cable should be upsize.
Is it possible to run 2500 feet of underground cable from one 200A breaker box to another 200A breaker box without a power loss?
According to voltage drop calc.you would need to run a 900mcm cable min. for 200 amp 240 volt Every cable has loss because every cable has resistance. It is basic physics.
Should you Run a 20amp circuit 150 feet with?
If this question is asking about voltage drop, to size a wire, a voltage is needed.
How far can you run 10 AWG with 30 amps?
This is a voltage drop question. The circuit's voltage must be stated to answer this question.
What is the relationship between wire size length of run and voltage drop?
The wire resistance is proportional to the length of wire divided by its cross-section area. The voltage drop is proportional to the resistance times the current.

What is a pratctical application of voltage drop?
I am an electrician at an aggregate company. We run 600V 3phase motors on our conveyor belts. When each conveyor feeds on to the next, the furthest conveyors often see voltage drop at the motor. We can usually fix the issue by upgrading the size of the cable to a larger than necessary guage.

What cable size is required for a current of 1000 amps?
The quick way is to find a cable size table and look it up. The calculation is complicated so most people use tables of pre-calculated values. It complicated because the current you can run through a cable depends on the cooling of the cable. Current passing through a cable with greater than zero resistance, which is normal, will generate heat in proportion to the square of the current and the resistance of the wire. If you can keep the cable cool enough to stop it melting then it will carry that current. But cooling a cable depends on a lot of factors, especially the insulation on the cable. Electrical insulation, to keep the electricity inside the cable, also keeps heat inside the cable, so most power distribution cables run quite warm to the touch. They are limited by the softening and melting point of the plastic insulation that is commonly used. Even overhead cables, insulated and cooled by air, run warm, but its not recommended to try and touch them.
