The magnitude of the resistance R of the RC
member is determined according to the fol‐
lowing equation:
R=U/I
L
(Where U= Voltage across the load and I
L
=
current through the load)
The magnitude of the capacitor is determined
using the following equation:
C=k * I
L
k=0,1...2 (dependent on the application).
Only use capacitors of class X2.
Units: R = Ohm; U = Volt; I
L
= Ampere; C =
µF
If consumers are connected which have
a high starting current (e.g. plug-in,
switched mains power supplies), then a
means of limiting the starting current
must be provided.
The switching-off process can be investigated
and documented using an oscilloscope. The
voltage peak at the switch contact depends on
the selected RC combination.

oscillogram.
