50 Selecting Your Hardware Components
Selecting Contact Protection
Inductive load devices such as motor starters and solenoids may
require the use of some type of surge suppression to protect the
controller output contacts. Switching inductive loads without surge
suppression can significantly reduce the lifetime of relay contacts.
Surge Suppression for Inductive Load Devices
These surge suppression circuits connect directly across the load
device. This reduces arcing of the output contacts. (High transient can
cause arcing that occurs when switching off an inductive device.)
