When current is drawn voltage is dropped over resistance. The more current, the more voltage drop. The key is to minimize the voltage drop by minimizing the resistance. That is why you have wire sizing charts based on max current and distance from the breaker box or source. The other area where resistance is high is dirty, corroded, or loose connections. Minimize the resistance and you will minimize the voltage drop when you draw more current by running the AC and/or MW.
