FIGURE 2-4
Contacts - Arcing may occur across contacts when the contact opens and
closes. This results in electrical noise as well as damage to the contacts.
Connecting a RC network properly sized can eliminate this arc.
For circuits up to 3 amps, a combination of a 47 ohm resistor and 0.1
microfarad capacitor (1000 volts) is recommended. For circuits from 3 to 5
amps, connect 2 of these in parallel. See Figure 2-5.
