How will you identify the type of breakdown (mechanical or electrical) of a solenoid valve?

Question

Accepted Answer

To identify the type of breakdown in a solenoid valve, one can perform visual inspection, check for electrical continuity, and conduct voltage and resistance tests.

Perform a visual inspection to check for any visible signs of damage or wear on the solenoid valve.
Check for electrical continuity by using a multimeter to test the continuity between the electrical connections of the solenoid valve.
Conduct voltage tests by applying voltage to the solenoid valve and checking if it operates as expected.
Perform resistance tests by measuring the resistance across the electrical connections of the solenoid valve.
Based on the results of these tests, one can determine if the breakdown is mechanical or electrical.
For example, if the solenoid valve shows signs of physical damage and does not operate even with proper voltage applied, it indicates a mechanical breakdown.
On the other hand, if the solenoid valve appears intact but fails to operate despite proper voltage and shows abnormal resistance readings, it suggests an electrical breakdown.

Accepted Answer

By pressing the plunger of valve. If it operates then electrical fault otherwise mechanical fault.
