4. Varistor Circuit
This circuit is also suitable for both AC & DC applications. Using the
stable voltage characteristics of the varistor, this circuit prevents
excessively high voltages from being applied across the contacts. This
circuit also slightly delays the release time. Effective when connected to
both contacts of the power supply voltage is 24 or 48V and the voltage
across the load is 100 to 200 V.
