Figure 12-9 Circuit for coils operated with DC voltage
Diode/Zener diode circuits have the following characteristics:
• Opening surge voltage can be totally avoided.
The Zener diode has a higher switch-off voltage capacity.
• High switch-off delay (6 to 9 times higher than without protective circuit).
The Zener diode switches off faster than a diode circuit.

The characteristics of varistor circuits are:
• The amplitude of the opening surge is limited rather than attenuated.
• The surge rise-ratio remains the same
• Short off-delay.
The characteristics of RC circuits are:
• Amplitude and steepness of the opening surge are reduced.
• Short off-delay.
