What are the approximate minimum voltage and power requirements for the solenoid valve on a pneumatic valve?
Thread Content
I would like to ask everyone what the minimum voltage and power of solenoids typically used in pneumatic valves are
The common operating voltages are DC 24V and AC 220V; power is generally not specified, and the nominal diameter is chosen instead.
dc24 or ac220
Generally, no one tries to deliberately reduce the voltage, but power is something that can be reduced; for example, in the case of low-power solenoids, you can check the information available on ASCO solenoids, as there are explanations on this topic.
Perhaps my question isn’t very precise; I’d like to clarify that. The rated operating voltage for ordinary solenoid valves is 24 or 220, but due to losses in the wiring, the actual voltage is lower than 24 or 220, and this difference becomes more noticeable when the wiring is long. For example, some solenoid valves require a minimum operating voltage of 95% of their rated voltage. I need to know the minimum operating voltage and power of the solenoid valve in order to determine whether the power supplied by the switching power supply is sufficient, especially when the operating voltage is 24V.

Here, this issue is being discussed from a exploratory perspective; as far as I know, the power of solenoids in pneumatic valves generally does not exceed 10 watts, with the voltage fluctuating by at most 5 percent
1.8W 24V asco low power consumption. The output capacity of PLC or DCS cards is the main factor to consider.
The solenoid valve is powered by a 24V DC power supply with a power consumption of less than 4W. Product ASCO
Regarding the power of this solenoid valve, it is necessary to consult relevant information for the specific model to obtain an exact power value. When designing power supply capacity, a safety factor needs to be reserved. If the cable is too long, the voltage drop will be excessive; the cable’s gauge and length must be taken into consideration when making the selection.
