If you're running AC up the tower, there are probably wide voltage DC transformers (100-240v) for everything up top that would clean it up anyway. We have a 200' Grain leg where we have an APC 750 UPS at the bottom. 120vac on #12 wire to the top and nothing has ever complained. There are several Meanwell AC/DC transformers at the top for 24v/48V, along with normal POE injectors (ubnt/cambium). I've never measured the voltage drop, but it has never been an issue.

Are you doing DC up the grain leg or AC?

    It's a square wave which a transformer would clean up. The drop
    wouldn't change and a buck-boost would up the voltage for the
    end-point.

    The concern i have is the voltage drop. The output of APC UPS as
    I understand is not pure sine wave, but a square wave. Will this
    impact voltage drop calculations?
