    How have you done the calculations? This is an abnormal situation and I'm interested to see the different approaches to this problem; Over the last 15 years or more, this problem has consistently come up, in its various forms, depending on different loads at the end of the line.

    I just used the standard volt drop calculation which just seems overkill
