The coil cant run at that voltage all of the time it has to charge and discharged I think.

Well any who, what else is there to talk about?
Oh here is one I discovered.
When you buy a range it requires bigger wire and a breaker than a wall oven alone.
Or an electric cook top alone.
Reason is the circuit has to have enough power to run the cook top and oven at the same time.
When I bought my oven I checked on this to see if I could run it on an existing 240 outlet in the garage and I can.
The reason for this comment is just because it is a 220/240 outlet doesn't mean you can just run anything on it.
Check your spec sheet and wiring manuals or the plate on the back of the device before you move ahead.
