I would like to run an underground wire from my driveshed to my garage to run a 4800 watt construction heater. I think they draw 20-25 amps. I don't have 220 in the garage. The distance is 200 ft. Is 10/2 UF wire heavy enough for that distance?

Best Answer
4800w @ 220V 21.81A. 10AWG is two small. 8 awg is right on the edge using 3% max voltage drop (uglys page 50) if you want to run any lights you should be using 6AWG for that long of a run.
