We have recently had some wrong solenoids ordered that are a different voltage rating then our control voltage of 120V AC. I was curious what would happen in the following two cases:
What if we put 120V on a solenoid that is rated for 180V AC? Would the solenoid work? Would it draw more current? Would it burn up?
Similaraly, what would happen if we put 120V AC on a solenoid rated for 24V AC?
