TheChad Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I'm building a project and I am considering using a capacitor instead of a battery. it will be powering a solenoid so it requires a large current aprox. 1amp at 24V.Is this possible and if so what type of capacitor should I look into ?Thanks ! :o ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero999 Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 It depends on the holding voltage of the solenoid and how long it needs to be on for.Use the following formula to calculate the capacitor size:C = t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
