Answer
For a DC load, a diode is generally the most effective, and the next most effective is CR elements. For an AC load, a
Technical Guide varistor or CR elements are the most effective.

This circuit arrangement is very effective for diminishing arcing at the contacts when breaking the circuit.
However, since electrical energy is stored in C (capacitor) when the contacts are open, the current from C flows into the
contacts when they close. This may lead to contact welding.
This circuit arrangement is very useful for diminishing arcing at the contacts when breaking the circuit.
However, since the charging current to C flows into the contacts when they are closed, contact welding may occur.
Note:Although it is thought that switching a DC inductive load is more difficult than a resistive load, an appropriate contact protection
circuit can achieve almost the same characteristics.

The Relay does not operate even when voltage is applied. Why is this?
We were using G2R General Purpose Relay to turn a solenoid valve ON and OFF, and sparks at the contact damaged the
relay after only about 3 months of use. What caused this, and what kind of countermeasure is there for it?
