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 in a DC circuit, install a kickback diode across the inductive
load. Refer to the contact protection circuit in Fi

. For AC loads, install a metal oxide varistor

(MOV).
