After reading all of this, I seem to have 2 possible choices: a. use a 16AWG common wire for one side powered by the 120V on that side, run it across the 175' conduit, and use a SPDT relay to sense down to 3V to turn on the other side's transformer or b. use 2 different transformer systems / timers. Does that sound about right? | |
