6 FAQs about [Capacitor affects arc suppression coil]

Does a larger capacitor affect arc suppression?

But larger capacitor can be expensive and might cause higher capacitive discharge energy during the time the contacts of the switch close. This type applies to both DC and AC circuits. Ohm’s law is applied to choose the most appropriate resistor value for the arc suppression.

What happens if a capacitor is connected across the relay contacts?

If only a capacitor is connected across the relay contacts, the setup is extremely efficient to reduce arcing. However, because of the huge electrical charge stored in the capacitor when the contacts are open, the current flows to the contacts again when they are closed. Over time, this will cause contact welding.

What is an electronic power contact arc suppressor?

An electronic power contact arc suppressor attached in parallel across the contact of a relay or contactor (Fig. 1 of issued patent U.S. 8,619,395 B2) The circuit diagram is part of an issued patent for an electronic power contact arc suppressor intended to protect the contacts of electrical relays or contactors.

What is the resulting contact arc suppression factor (CASF)?

The resulting Contact Arc Suppression Factor [CASF] is dimensionless. Contact Arc Suppression Factor (CASF) test set-up. The results obtained using this test set-up allow for determining the effectiveness of a contact arc suppression on either an electromechanical relay or a contactor.

Should I use arc suppression?

These diverse arc suppression approaches have many pros and cons. Not using suppression is also an option if the relay contact life isn’t affected without it. The many factors that determines which approach needs to be undertaken, include cost, contact life, packing etc.

Which arc suppressor should I use?

So, we must use a metal-oxide varistor (MOV), a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode or an RC suppression network, also known as a snubber. These diverse arc suppression approaches have many pros and cons. Not using suppression is also an option if the relay contact life isn't affected without it.
