Written by a commaphobic, methinks... (grin)

I'd have replaced one with a colon and added one, not removed one:

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

It doesn't work for me.  I suggest "So, if relay B's coil was set up
to run on and 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?

That one is fine.

Is this sentence okay?
