Depends on how well the feedline is installed and if it has common
mode currents.
I run 120 volts out on cables, but I:
1.) Fuse them at low current.
2.) Isolate them through a isolation transformer.
3.) Have a plug on the feed of the whole setup, so it is not part of
the house wiring.
I run all my wires through the same pipes or trenches, and have no
noise problems.
