One walk-in-off-the-street price for 6-3 outdoor wire comes to about $3.50 /

How much for a couple of used 3 kVA 240-480V transformers and skinnier wire?

Grainger Transformer,3 Kva = $427
Transformers have standby and load losses to consider in making the decision.
Generally, double the voltage = 1/4 the wire cost for the same loss.
