I'm about to run a 30 amp sub panel soon and was wondering if 10/3 wire will be ok to run a 65 foot run? It's probably gonna be a bit shorter than that but couldn't hurt to overestimate.

All I will be running on it is two 1000 @ 240V and a few fans at 120V.

Really don't wanna get the 8/3 if I don't have to. Thx for any help guys!

I am not an electrician, but according to some who have
run a subpanel such as yours, 10/3 was used up to 75 feet.

You can run 10ga for 100 feet but here you go http://www.paigewire.com/pumpWireCalc.aspx?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1

You should be good. Probably draw around 20 amps total
