Depends on what size wire you use, which should be determined by how many amps you need to draw from it at the end of the circuit.

For that length you should increase the gage by two sizes. If a 20 amp circuit, use 8 gage, if 15 amp, use 10 gage. The larger conductors will keep the voltage from dropping to so low a voltage as to potentially harm motors that will overheat if run under voltage.

The current rating is determined by the gauge of wire. With the length of the run, you would want to go to two sizes larger wire than you normally would.

300 feet is a long run. The best thing to do is to check with a supply house. I personaly would go bigger than 8 gauge myself I would use like 4 gauge myself. I dont have my charts with me now but thats the best thing to do is ask a supply house and go big.

You need to specify what type of metal this wire is made of and its diameter.
