    Designing a 240VAC Coil Assembly with 1600 Turns and 22 AWG Wire

    Forgot to mention that engineer said the resistance would end up around 48 ohms which is 4X what the 120 VAC coil is now ( 12.1 ohms) I just received the bobbins...I'll wind the wire on them and get them out to my customer. Should hear something in a week or so. Thanks to all again...

    Designing a 240VAC Coil Assembly with 1600 Turns and 22 AWG Wire

    I asked an engineer at a local school and he suggested 3220 turns of 25 ga. wire. I'll be giving that a go as soon as I get some bobbins. Pretty close to what Carl suggested. David

    Designing a 240VAC Coil Assembly with 1600 Turns and 22 AWG Wire

    That is the problem...originally I reverse engineered the 120 VAC coil to see what to make. This coil (120 VAC) works great. Now customer is asking if I can make a 240 VAC version of this coil. The application is an electromagnet. So to get back to square one, on this project I did not...

    Designing a 240VAC Coil Assembly with 1600 Turns and 22 AWG Wire

    I'm currently making a coil assembly for a customer. The coil has the following specs: 120 VAC application 1,600 Turns 22 AWG magnet wire 12.5 ohms typically coil is in a circuit with a half sine wave rectifier and a solid state VAC controller current draw is .6 amps (72 watts)...
