10.1 Cable Information
Interference Elimination Internal relay coils and other units that can generate interference inside the
controller are neutralized. External relay coils, solenoids and other units must be
clamped in a similar way. The illustration in Figure 87 shows how this can be done.
Note that the turn-off time for DC relays increases after neutralization, especially if
a diode is connected across the coil. Varistors give shorter turn-off times.
Neutralizing the coils lengthens the life of the switches that control them.

The diode is to be dimensioned for the
same current as the relay coil, and a
voltage of twice the supply voltage.
The varistor is to be dimensioned for
the same energy as the relay coil, and
a voltage of twice the supply voltage.
