Protective wiring of relay contacts
Relay contacts are subject to electrical erosion. Especially with
inductive and capacitive loads, the service life of the contacts will
be reduced. For suppression of sparks and arcing, components
such as RC combinations, nonlinear resistors, series resistors, and
diodes should be used.
