Re: Electrical solenoids

Alex/Q,
There isn't a safety issue in my mind with solenoids. The wiring rules would still cover them, i.e. 20 amp breaker feeding the solenoid through a Spike fused at 20 amps. The danger of fire from misuse of a 12 volt solenoid during a two minute match is not an issue.
