The original bridge was dealing with 480 vac @ 5.2 amps. The new
coil will present a load of about 4 amps @ 240 vac. It's not an
issue.

That does not make sense for the ampere-turns argument. The number of
turns drops dramatically thus the current must increase accordingly.


480v coil 2500 turns @ 4.8 amps
240 coil 2000 turns @ 6.0 amps
