Hi all,
The system will work with over 5 volts of conductor drop. Even 50
ohms of loop resistance in the conductors should be safe.
Number 26 copper is about .04 ohms per foot. That means you can
use number 26 for any run up to 1/8 mile if there is no other ground
return, and longer with a ground return.
I use telco wire, because it is cheap. Use stranded wire if the wire
is subjected to flexing.
