So, complete hypothetical on laws governing power transmission over a distance:
Lets say I have a generator as a source of power - and attached to that is FIVE KILOMETERS worth of extension cords. :)
In this situation, what laws of electricity do I need to look out for?
Voltage drop over distance?
Amp drop over distance?
Gauge of wire?
Risk of fire?
There also might be something I need to know about the extension cord itself - the plug and the power cable components, whether a three prong grounded plug would be more advantageous as opposed to an ungrounded, two prong plug, etc.
Please help me out :)thank you!
