Prevent Switching Surge

Connect a Surge Protective Device

A surge protective device decreases the surge voltage generated when you switch an inductive load near the drive. Inductive loads include:

  • Magnetic contactors

  • Electromagnetic relays

  • Magnetic valves

  • Solenoids

  • Magnetic brakes.

Always use a surge protective device or diode with inductive loads.

Note:

Do not connect a surge protective device to the drive output side.
