I went digging through my junk collection and refound a 24vac 50va 240/480 volt control transformer hooked up to run 240.
This is a big improvement over the 277 volt emergency light transformers because I was running them at about 20va each, I think they were only rated for 10 to 15va.
All I had to do is connect the link bar to convert it to 480v, hook it up to 240 and it will put out "12 volts".
I tested the control transformer configured for 480, being ran off 240 and it produced 13.3vac which is perfect for what I need.
Hooked the transformer with rectifier up to the coolant pump it produced 7.6 volts at 3.8 amps of pulsed DC, which is perfect.
