- Prevents inductive "kickback" from AC coils
- Extends relay contact life by suppressing arcing
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
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.
NOTE: Recommended for use with Powermesh & Senoa Multi Purpose switches when using motor or inductive loads, eg exhaust fans
