To add to that, a 1:1 control transformer of a very small size
can be wired as a buck boost to operate that coil.

As I mentioned previously, the solenoid requires a 5.2 amp pulse
to properly actuate the contactor mechanism.

With a 240/240 control transformer wired up in boost mode that
would need at 1000 VA transformer as a bare minimum.
