Although the motor starter is
an inductive load, it does not
need a suppressor because it is
switched by a solid-state device.
The motor needs supressors
because it is an inductive load
switched by hard contacts.
1CR
The pilot light needs a supressor
because it is an inductive load
switched by hard contacts.
Example 1:
An AC output module
controls a motor starter
whose contacts control
the motor.
Example 2:
An AC output module
controls an interposing
relay, but the circuit can be
opened by hard contacts.
The relay contacts control
a solenoid.
Example 3:
A contact output module
controls an inductive load.
1CR
The solenoid needs a supressor
because it is an inductive load
switched by hard contacts.
The interposing relay needs a
supressor because it is an inductive
load switched by hard contacts.
