As long as the wire is heavy enough to carry the required amperage, it will be perfectly ok without dropping the amperage. I have a chart here somewhere that tells the max length for the max amps in both aluminum and copper wires. When i find it, I'll post the chart. It goes up to like 500 feet or something like that.
