I have a 24VAC/60Hz solenoid. I used 12VDC just to try, and it worked good (well needless to say it worked as expected with 24VAC/60Hz).

What are the effects of a solenoid that's projecteddesigned for AC running with DC? ForceApplied force does not seemsseem to be a problem in this case, so I think the principal point ismain issue would be heat, as it is not running aton the projected/optimized power source it was designed/optimized for. But technicallyTechnically speaking, what types of losses should be expected?
