Question on a 480 volt drill

[Joseph1970]

I have a 480 volt drill and the nema 00 size starter has a 240 coil will this work on the 480 volt power, the starter is a 480 volt starter, any help would be appreciated.

You will need a 240v source for the control wiring to the coil.
You might be able to change the coil to a 480v but that's not an easy task on some 00 starters.

It’s possible it’s a dual voltage coil, and can be changed to 480 volts by moving jumpers, but those are not that common. A picture would verify it easily.

It will look something like this, it will have four screws, instead of just two.

copy and paste seems to work most instances. The old forum software was more difficult to share images.

Is this a machine that was originally set up for 240 volts but happens to have dual volt motor that you want to use @ 480?

If so remember that current will be half of what it is at 240 and you would need to adjust overload protection as well.
