How To Design Solonoid Coil for AC Voltage

AI Thread Summary
To design a solenoid coil for 240 VAC, it is essential to calculate the coil's resistance (R) and inductance (L) based on the desired impedance of 10k ohms. The reactance (XL) is determined by the formula XL = 2 * π * fHz * L, where frequency plays a crucial role. Wire diameter affects both resistance and inductance, with a smaller diameter allowing for longer wire but increasing resistance and inductance significantly. An example calculation is requested to clarify these concepts, along with references for further understanding. Understanding these principles is vital for effective solenoid coil design.

Hello Friends,

Can you help to solve the problem of my solenoid coil as before i created 12VDC coil & its working fine thanks for that help guys. but now i want 240 VAC solenoid coil. so can you please help me which SWG I have to select. how many turns have to select..i want the equitation how to calculate it.

Voltage is 240VAC
Ohms 10000

Thank You Friends

The current through an AC coil is limited by the coil resistance, R, and the coil inductance, L, in series.
Zcoil = R + j XL The reactance, XL, is proportional to power frequency, XL = 2 * π * fHz * L.

If you halve the cross section area of the wire, you will be able to wind twice the length on the former, the resistance will rise by four times, (half the area and twice the length), the inductance will also rise by four times since the inductance is proportional to the square of the number of turns.

You have specified “Ohms 10000” so I assume you want Zcoil = 10k
You must calculate the resistance and inductance of the coil for different wire diameters and solve for the diameter that gives the minimum cost of wire. Then √(R2 + XL2) = 10k

Thank you for your replay,

I would like to appreciate if you explain with an example.. because i m new & its very hard to understood. or give some link or document for reference.

My bobbin length is 18mm & radius is 4 mm

Again Thank you very much sir

Thread 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length length of 150 feet'
I need to cut down a 3 year old dead tree from top down so tree causes no damage with small pieces falling. I need a mirror with a focal length of 150 ft. 12" diameter to 36" diameter will work good but I can't think of any easy way to build it. Nothing like this for sale on Ebay. I have a 30" Fresnel lens that I use to burn stumps it works great. Tree service wants $2000.
Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
