Inductive Load Switching
Any transistor that switches an inductive load must be provided with transient protection. Figure 17.12 shows the most common approach. Protection also is required for switches that control an appreciable amount of power, as illustrated in Figure 17.13. The use of a transient suppressor across switch or relay contacts will also extend the life of the switching elements.
