Supplement 3: Electric coupling / Freewheeling diode
Electric couplings – i.e. couplings, which can automatically uncouple remotely –- are magnetic articles and therefore
inductive consumers.
When switiching off the current they may generate by the coil of the magnetic product a high voltage with opposite polarity
(up to several hundred volts) by self induction. By exceeding the maximum cut off voltage of the function outputs of the
most sensitive MOSFET output drivers, they can be destroyed irreparably!
It is therefore imperative to close shortly these voltages by freewheeling diodes:
Please make sure that the function output you have chosen for connecting the electric coupling has a sufficiently high
capacity!
