WP: How to add circuit protection when switching inductive loads

Acromag have released a new educational technical brief on how to add circuit protection when switching inductive loads. Since their digital output modules and alarm relays commonly drive inductive loads that include motor windings, solenoids, interposing relay coils, and more, they routinely recommend practices such as adding a reverse-biased shunt diode across the load terminals. Learn why curbing destructive transients produced when switching inductive loads can save equipment, extend its life, lower coupled noise and emissions, and even help protect personnel.
