Default rotor cable voltage drop

I'm installing a 60ft tower about 400ft from my house for uhf/vhf. I'm
planning to use a Channel Master rotor which I haven't purchased yet. I've
buried 1"pvc conduit to tower and planning the wire pull for the antenna &
satellite coax plus the rotor cable. From my research 3c/22ga. wire will
control all C M rotors. Since I don't know the power requirements yet of the
un-purchased rotor I can't calculate the voltage drop on appx. 500ft of 22
ga wire to see if it will be sufficient. Can somebody either reply with the
typical C M rotor current/voltage/watts or first hand knowledge of the
correct wire gauge for a 500ft run. Thanks Jeff
