No.

Assuming that the problem is poor English usage, not
poor engineering, I suggest that the author use "work"
in place of "run".

If the issue is engineering, I suggest another "google
group".  The first part means "... to work on 16V DC
and has been working on 16...".  And the answer is
"yes".  100% guarantee.

So, if relay B's coil was set up to run on, has been running on 16
volts AC, is there any chance it can run just as well on 24 volts AC?

Is this sentence okay?
