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...
