   No.   
      
   You would need to check the voltage between the two ends of a wire, which is   
   near zero, and *that* voltage would be transformed to the secondary   
   (low-voltage) side, not the voltage between the two wires.   
      
   Furthermore, the fields from the two conductors with opposite current   
   direction nearly cancel out, which reduces the effect even more.
