MW>As a thought, why not convert the 110ac to 24ac...run it up the tower and

You can try this for the relays. One of the world's best kept secrets
is that AC relays can work very well on DC. I routinely run junkbox
110v AC relays on about 12-14v DC. It could make your life a bit
simplier for the relays in this application! You only then need the AC
for the motors etc
