    You say most of the word should be DC I till you realize that you need a 3cm thick cable to move 2000w 30m. DC is really bad outside of low or ultra high power transmission.

      The calculator I used says for 48v with an acceptable drop of 3v at 50 amp (2400-2250 watts) would be a 0 (1/0) AWG or .82515cm diameter diameter wire to handle the current (oversized really but it’s napkin math lol) for 30m.
