Default Re: 36v solenoid in 48v Par Car

The down side would be that you would burn up the coil in the contactor. It's designed for 36 volts, not 48 volts. You might get by for a while, but eventually the overvoltage would burn it up. I guess if he's doing it all the time, that makes it easy to get repeat business. It is something that can buy you some time, but again, I wouldn't plan on it being a long term fix.
