RC Network for Interference Suppression
When driving highly inductive loads with the relay outputs, it is
recommended to use RC suppression networks (often called “Snubbers”)
for the following reasons:
•
To limit the amount of electrical noise caused by arcing across the
contacts, which may, in extreme cases, cause the microprocessor to act
erratically.
•
To protect the relay contacts against premature wear through pitting.
RC suppression networks consist of a capacitor and series resistor and are
commonly available in the electrical industry. The values of R and C are
dependent entirely on the load. However, if the user is unsure of the type of
snubber to use, values of 0.25
µ
F and 100
Ω
will usually suffice. Note that
only mains-approved RC suppression networks should be used.
The basic principle of the operation is that the capacitor prevents a series of
sparks arcing across the contact as the contact breaks. The series resistor
limits the current through the contact when the contact first makes.
