Solenoid coil got burnt

Is this a solenoid for a 220VAC contactor? If so The winding may be for 12VDC, 24VDC, 110VAC or just about anything. and the 220VAC may be the contact specs??

You may want to use a variac and a current meter to test it. (If it is still use-able). If you smoked it--it's probably toast.

"Inductive reactance" iron core, as opposed to "DC resistance" open air coil

"does it has some thing to with back emf in the magnetic piece that will oppose the current drawn"

No

Some one told me that i have to put some magnetic thing in between the coil before connecting ???

I hope when you experiment with power your not putting others at risk ? You would reget that.

Think of it as a welder. The closer the grounding cable is to the actual weld site the more powerful the ARC.

If the coil rating of the solenoid is 220 V AC, it should not get burnt.

As it got burnt, either it has gone bad or the coil rating must be something lower.

Sir,

I got it confirmed that,a 220V AC coil gets burnt if it is powered up with out putting any ferric rod or stem at the center of the coil , we have tried this on many coils and we have tested that it draws more than normal current without inserting a metal rod in the coils field

Surprising!

I have many many 220V AC solenoid coils in my use for years... like contactors, valves etc. No where I had to place any sort of metal core for the coils. The supplier takes care of whatever is required to be done.

sir,

i particularly referring to Rotex make solenoid coils
