Wire size for 70 amps at 75 feet

70 A at 75 ft one-way

Voltage	Conductor	Minimum size	Voltage drop
120 V	Copper	4 AWG	3.23 V (2.69%)
120 V	Aluminum	2 AWG	3.35 V (2.79%)
240 V	Copper	4 AWG	3.23 V (1.35%)
240 V	Aluminum	3 AWG	4.23 V (1.76%)

Smallest size meeting NEC 75 °C ampacity (with 240.4(D) limits) and ≤3% drop at the full 70 A. Use 125% sizing for continuous loads; apply derating for more than 3 current-carrying conductors or high ambient temperature.
