    Inrush current solenoid valve

    I was wondering if there is anything that could cause a greater inrush current in a pilot operated solenoid valve. Such as water pressure. Also I have been told that a vacuum is created when a valve opens that will restrict the movement of the solenoid plunger increasing the inrush current. Is...
