So, my thinking goes, to make it into a 240-460 transformer,


At that voltage level, you are not allowed to use directly activated
switches, and must instead use contactors in grounded metal boxes, and
so on. I'm sure we will hear from the electricians on the group about
that.


There's no prohibition on manually operated switches up to at least
600VAC that I'm aware of, as long as the switch is properly rated.
600V switches are widely available.


I wanted to use switches on the 240v input side.
