Thanks all for your suggestions. I am about to test some bidirectional diodes.
Other than testing the relay with the diode repeatedly to see how long the contacts last, how do I know that the diode is working?
I am trying to protect the relay contacts. This is for a new product so I'm not trying to solve a one time problem. There are currently 60+ units in the field and from what I have read I should be protecting the relay contacts so they will last a reasonable amount of cycles.
Hello,
I am seeking help in specifying the necessary components to protect three DC relays while switching off a DC inductive source. The battery is 12 VDC and the motor draws up to 50 amps (until a 25amp push to reset circuit breaker pops) but normally draws from 16 to 30 amps. Also, the motor...
I am trying to learn the normal depth/lenght of pipe thread engagement. More specifically how far do commercially available 2" NPT pipe threads thread into a 2" NPT fitting?
