It would be so nice if all rotators listed the current draw, otherwise you
just have to guess. I have long rotator runs and use THHN for the motor
conductors.

If you have a Prosistel 71D rotator, what size conductors are you using and
over what distance?
Trying to calculate what is needed for a 500-foot run but the manual online
only gives two wire sizes without mentioning distance.
If you know the current draw of the motor, that would be useful in making
the calculation.
