Prevent Relay Arcing using RC Snubber Circuits

Last Updated on August 8, 2026 by Swagatam 148 Comments

arc suppression compressed

In this article I have explained the formula and techniques of configuring RC circuit networks for controlling the arcing across relay contacts while switching heavy inductive loads. Arc suppression An arc is produced across the contacts when a switch or a relay is opened. With time, this condition can wear down the contacts. To overcome […]
