I’ve got a run of 8/3 with ground direct burial cable to run to my work shop that is 230’ away. Using the following voltage drop calculator I get a voltage drop of 3.97% at 15 Amps:

However, I have two hots...does that get me more usable amps at the end or does that simply allow me access to 220v at the 15 amp max?
I'll have an electrician do the hookups...just want to know what my limits will be in the workshop.
Thank you.
