Prevent Relay Arcing using RC Snubber Circuits

Using Bidirectional TVs DiodeApplying RC Snubber Parallel with The Switch ContactUsing RC (Snubber) Suppression Parallel with The LoadThe MOV and TVS diodes conduct current when a threshold voltage is surpassed. Normally, these diodes are connected parallel to the switch contact. Even at low voltages like 24 VAC, these devices are capable of working efficiently. Moreover, they can also function well at higher inductance 120 VAC loads. Compared to TVS diodes, MOV deviSee more on homemade-circuits shboarden
