I need ideas on a long rotor run.It's about 200 ft.I have a nre rebuilt T2x.I tested the tower run which is about 60ft.Worked fine.I then installed it and connected from the up the tower run to lightning protection.Gas charged modules,I did check for shorts before connecting.I then connected the full run.The meter goes to north upon power,which is where I left it after first test.All lights up.when I press the brake it appears it locks and the jumper wires get very,very hot....I presume it is a volyage problem,voltage derop from the long run....What can I do.This is the heavy duty cable from dxengineering..Add 2 wires of larger size 0n 1 an2 ?? ideas...
