The R-C Snubber is intended to suppress the “inductive kick” from motors,
solenoids or relay coils. High energy noise spikes are generated whenever
current is interrupted through an inductive load. These noise spikes may
interfere with associated equipment causing erratic operation and may also
accelerate relay contact wear. Applied across an inductive load, the R-C
snubber suppresses the noise spikes and extends contact life. |
