[TowerTalk] 120 v inside conduit

[Jim Berry]

There is an old trick one might play around with.  Get a couple of
old filament transformers.  Hook them up so that the 6 or 12 volt
side makes the run.  The transformer on the other end converts
everything back to 120.  I do not know how much current is going to
be needed, but I would suspect that most average filament
transformers would handle it.  In any case, sure would keep any line
voltage at a safer level.
