When the power supply connects to an inductive 
load, e.g., inductor, which generates a back EMF 
(Electromotive Force) when output current is 
accidentally turned off, a backflow diode is 
necessary for absorbing the back EMF, which may 
cause irreversible damage to the power supply. 
Refer to the following figure where a backflow 
diode connects with the inductive load in parallel 
to effectively absorb the possible back EMF. 
Ensure the connected diode meets the following 
specifications between the load, either capacitor or 
inductor, and the ASR-2000 series power supplies. 
  Maximum reverse voltage: 600 V or higher 
  Maximum forward current: 15 A or more for 100V 
range, and 7.5 A or more for 200V range
