I definitely will with the transformers, thats past my level of knowledge. But i also want to get a good idea of what to have them do before they come out and quote me the most expensive option

So what happens if i plug it into 20amp instead of 5? How much do i end up with? So effectively i need one like this? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007IBV1R0/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Basically 4 transformers, beginning and end of each of the 2 runs. Up to 480v, down to 240v, subpanel, rest of circuit?

I havent bought anything except the wire so far. So i can put in whatever would actually work best. Lights for the back field would need to be somewhat diverse, regular field lighting and maybe some spot lights for the kids to search the trees with. The driveway i can do 400', but in the back...

Correct me if im doing the math wrong....but if i were to run 4 wires of 8 gauge at 800'. 2 hot wires, a neutral and a ground. That's 240v....there will be significant voltage drop on that obviously. But the end result will be MORE than 120v. Is there anything that could then convert whatever...

Would be less than 10, most at about 400'

Also would it solve anything to run 4 wires and do 240v? The 8 gauge i bought is in individual wires.

Whats the hookup look like for solar? And how much power does that realistically give me? I don't know much about solar

Is there a link to that thread?

Lets say i skip the compressor. How far can i realistically run 8 gauge for lights and speakers?

Well I was hoping, but theoretically i could put it on the building and aim it down the driveway instead of at the gate. That would make it only 400'

Camera is on an rg59 coax. I could use the compressor by the house i suppose but it would be nice to have outlets out and around for random things

To clarify. The air compressor is just a little 5 gallon one for tractor tires, not doing it for the paintball. I feel like there's too much for solar and a generator isn't realistic. Total load on each line is maybe 12 amps. Isnt bigger wire much harder to work with? What would be the...

Hey all, Im pretty new to electrical, i know enough not to kill myself but not enough to necessarily do anything right. I have a couple very long runs i need to do. One down my driveway (about 800') that will have a security camera, a few lights (3-4), and a couple outlets for the occasional...
