Voltage Fluctuation Impacts
Analysis of voltage effects on solenoid valve pneumatic actuators
1. Solenoid Valve Operation Impacts
Under-voltage Conditions (e.g., 24V DC @ 20V)
Incomplete valve stroke (partial opening/closing)
Slower response times (50-70% slower at 15% voltage drop)
Coil overheating (10°C rise per 1V below rating)
Over-voltage Conditions (e.g., 24V DC @ 30V)
Component damage (armature/seal stress increases 300%)
Coil melt risk (50% faster temperature rise)
Duty cycle reduction (continuous operation limited)
2. Pneumatic Actuator Performance
Erratic air supply causes jerky actuator movement (±15% speed variation)
Torque output drops 20-40% during under-voltage events
Fail-safe return delayed by 50-200ms per 1V drop
3. Mitigation Strategies
Voltage Stabilization Solutions
Voltage regulators maintain ±2% output (e.g., SolaHD SLO series)
Surge protectors clamp spikes above 130% rated voltage
Redundant solenoids with separate power feeds
4. Industry Standards
| Standard | Requirement |
|---|---|
| IEC 60034 | Insulation class for 10% voltage variation |
| UL 508 | 125% voltage withstand for 1 minute |
