9.6 Noise Suppression at the Source, Continued
Contacts, continued
In DC circuits, the power dissipation under steady state condition can be
eliminated by placing a diode (in series with a resistor) in parallel with the
load (see Figure 9-4). The value of R should be less than or equal to the
DC resistance of the inductive load.
Figure 9-4 is an illustration of DC load noise suppression.
