[HCARC] Rotator Cable

[W4wj at aol.com]

Gary...
 
3 x 16 would equal about a #12...  The 300V rating is no problem,  but will 
there be TOO much voltage drop (resistance loss) when the rotor  is
running and drawing the most current on the motor wires??
 
That is the question...

In the  interest of making sure that he cable I pre-wire as rotator cable 
is hefty  enough for approx 175-200 feet, would 3 runs of this low voltage 
(300 V max)  cable suffice??  I think it would but would like to be sure.
