![]() ![]() In this tutorial we will learn how to build driver circuit to control a Solenoid valve.Ī solenoid is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Since the solenoid involves coil they often consume a large amount of current making it mandatory to have some type of driver circuit to operate it. When the coil is energised this conductive material is subjected to some mechanical movement which is then reversed through a spring or other mechanism when de-energised. That is, it has a coil wound over a metal (conductive) material. This rod will hit the metal plates placed on either side of the solenoid to produce the soothing ding dong sound.Īlthough there are many types of solenoid mechanisms available, the most basic thing remains the same. The Door bell has a plunger type solenoid coil inside it, which when energised by AC power source will move a small rod up and down. One very common application of solenoid that most of us would have come across is the ding-dong door bell. There are many types of solenoid, for instance there are solenoid valves which can be used to open or close water or gas pipe lines and there are solenoid plungers which are used to produce linear motion. Solenoids are very commonly used actuators in many process automation systems. ![]()
