Relay Suppresors

[nic00b]

I am looking for information regarding relay suppresion. I have read about various different types that can be used, I'm curious what situations you would use the different types in. For example MOV's, Snubbers, Diodes etc.... Also how do you size the suppression correctly? I seem to get different answers from my colleagues and as im only two years out of my time i see it best to learn the correct ways now than "Wild Guessing"...

There are ample members on here that actually come from an "Electronics" background before going as a spark.

Depends what you class as regular "sparkying" ^_^

Almost always, a simple "snubber" capacitor across the switch terminals does the job perfectly well .
