My station runs on an Astron 50M which I run about 14-foot of #4 
welding wire to the master fuse (30A) and my power distribution 
strips.  I see about 13.7v at the fuse.  My 150w 2m amp gets about 
13.3v under load.

I ran about 35-feet of No.8-4 wire from my ac service to a 60A 
breaker box which I have populated with 40A of breakers.  The nom 
240vac drops less than a volt when I key down my 8877 at 1400w output 
(DC load is 2500w).  I have 15A fuses in the 240v transformer primary 
lines.  The Astron runs at 120vac from the same breaker box.
