Relay contact protection circuit for inductive loads

When you connect an inductive load to a relay, energy stored in the inductive load can induce a large voltage

surge when you switch the relay. This voltage can severely damage the relay contacts. To limit the voltage

surge across the inductive load, install a kickback diode across the DC load. Refer to the contact protection

circuit in . For AC loads, install a metal oxide varistor (MOV). Figure 3-5
