Interference elimination
Internal relay coils and other units that can generate interference inside the control
cabinet are neutralized. External relay coils, solenoids and other units must be
clamped in a similar way. The illustration below shows how this can be done.
Note that the turn-off time for DC relays increases after neutralization, especially
if a diode is connected across the coil. Varistors give shorter turn-off times.
Neutralizing the coils lengthens the life of the switches that control them.

1 The diode should be dimensioned for the same current as the relay coil, and
a voltage of twice the supply voltage.
2 The varistor should be dimensioned for the same energy as the relay coil,
and a voltage of twice the supply voltage.
3 When AC voltage is used, the components needs to be dimensioned for >500
V max voltage and 125 V nominal voltage.
The resistor should be 100 Ω, and the capacitor should be 1W 0.1 - 1 µF
(typically 0.47 µF).
