I'm not sure I totally understand your question. You have the mounting down. Are you planning on fishing a neutral out to the poles? Or, will you use a NEMA 3R 208x120 transformer mounted near the handhole?

Something like an Acme T-2-79742-S would work well if you can't get your netural from the building to the handholes.

Yes I was planning on putting transformer in or near the pole, so I would need a 1200 watt transformer with a 10 amp in line fuse maybe? I have yet to do this but I am not planning on pulling a nuetral. thanks bk
