To calculate make and break ratings for other load voltages, divide the volt-ampere
rating by the load voltage. For example:
Using Surge Suppressors
Inductive load devices such as motor starters and solenoids require the use of some
type of surge suppression to protect the controller output contacts. Switching
inductive loads without surge suppression can significantly reduce the lifetime of
relay contacts. By adding a suppression device directly across the coil of an inductive
device, you will prolong the life of the switch contacts. You will also reduce the
effects of voltage transients caused by interrupting the current to that inductive
device, and will prevent electrical noise from radiating into system wiring.
