I have an idea of how I would do this, but I'd like to see if I can get suggestions for a better way. How would you go about testing the amount of voltage drop from the source at the breaker panel to a distant outlet? Also, if I'm trying to run a 110 volt welder from a 110 volt outlet, why does it matter that I use a circuit that is fed through a 20 amp breaker rather than a 15 amp one? If I don't draw enough current to trip the breaker, what reduction could a lower rated breaker cause? (I think I know the answer to this one, too, but I'd like to see if I really understand it.)
