That is a VERY, VERY, VERY, Wrong guess,

You can calculate the V drop on any size wire

AS the voltage drops being supplied to an AC motor, the AMPS go UP, to 
the point of even burning up the motor, run a 110 volt AC motor at 90 
volts, and it will fry, run it at 100 volts and it's life drops by 50 %

100 feet of 16 gage won't carry the load of an electric lawn mower for 
long with 0ut letting the smoke out of it
