Would a B&B transformer work ok to boost a 120V circuit for a electric gate opener?
I don't know what the voltage is but a customer wants to abandon (6) halogen spot lights and use the power for the gate. I don't know what or if anything else is on the circuit. I cautioned the guy that depending on the motor load there might not be enough power considering the length of the run and anything else on the circuit.
I just wanted to see IF there wasn't enough if a B&B would work.
Also, are there outdoor rated B&B maybe similar to a pool transformer?
