The seismic capacity for the equipment class of Solenoid-Operated Valves (SOV) maybe based on earthquake experience data. This equipment class includes a wide diversity of sizes, types, and applications. Solenoid operators are smaller and lighter than motor operators. Solenoid-operated valves are actuated bypassing an electrical current through a coil, thereby creating a magnetic field which opens or closes the valve.
