In order to use a solenoid in a system that is powered by 480vac, we will be using a 480/240 transformer since we cannot find a 480v solenoid. Does this sound like it may be a problem to anyone? What things should I consider?

Usually you would run most of the 'controls' at a lower voltage. No way to energize this 'other' coil directly with the lower control voltage? Like with auxiliary contacts or ?
