Hello,
I have an 120vac solenoid that has a sluggish start. Once it has recessed about 1/4 the way through it works just fine. If you do not help it get started it will just sit there and hum. (This seems to be only periodically)
My question is...
Can you use a capacitor to give the solinoid an initial burst upon startup similar to a motor start capacitor?
I understand this is a pretty general questin but i do not have the solenoid information with me at this time.
