Inductive load
There is danger of voltage peaks from
inductive loads when switching off (up
to 10 times the rated voltage). Induc-
tive loads are caused by, e.g.:
n
Contactors, relays
n
Solenoid valves
n
Electric motors
Examples of protective measures:
Fig. 26: Example 1
Fig. 27: Example 2
Capacitive loads
There is a danger of high current
peaks from capacitive loads when
switching-on the switch contact
(exceeding rated current). Capacitive
loads are caused by, e.g.:
n
Long connecting cables
n
Capacitive consumers
Example of protective measure:

capacitive loads
Ohmic loads
There is a danger of high current
peaks from ohmic loads when
switching-on the switch contact. The
reason for this is that the glow filament
has a low resistance at low tempera-
tures. Ohmic loads are caused by, e.g.:
n
Filament bulbs
n
Motors during startup
