From time to time someone will say something like this about car components like 12 V DC air compressors and industrial devices driven by 120 VAC induction motors
"Use right size cables, if there is voltage drop in the cables the compressor will take the same power and compensate loss of voltage by taking more amps."
Is there any truth to such a statement ?
