Thanks for that input. You have reminded me of the crucial point. "Got to keep the ampere * turns the same". I must not saturate the core. My plan of sending 220 half sine would potentailly fail because I'll be doubling the peak design current of the 110 volt solenoid even though the...
Does anyone have experience of operating a Solenoid designed for 110v AC use with Half wave rectified 220v supply. Alternatively I could possibly design around fullwave rectification and change solenoid coil for 220v AC rating. My assumtion is that either design would work based on equivalent...
