Snipped a lot of repetitious, self serving nonsense.
and if the relay is
designed to operate on AC with a certain RMS current in its coil, how
can it possibly overheat if that current is DC?
With the same current it wont, with higher curren ti will. IIRC you
proposed using 174v rms,
No, I merely added a capacitor across the output of _your_ proposed
full wave rectified 120 VRMS 60Hz source (170V peak) in order to get
smoothed DC closer to the relay's must-make current.
fwliw I said use diodes, you came back with a FW BR. I dont think it
matters.

Then show me your circuit.
Just in case you've forgotten, your suggestion was to use a 240V AC
relay using diodes and 120V mains.

that would be ok on your specific relay, but
not a universal solution.
???
Your proposd BR+C delivers the right i for one specific relay. For
some relays it will fry them.

Show me.
If you want to go get some specs of other relays, you can. This is
starting to get silly.
