Spark Quencher AC/DC loads >0.5A

Description: Spark Quencher AC/DC loads >0.5A. XL Series Signal Conditioner, most often used with the XLe. Spark Quenchers are electronic components designed to prevent or substantially minimize the occurrence of arcing and noise generation in relay and switch contacts. Spark Quenchers consist of specially designed capacitors and resistors connected in series. Spark discharges and induced noise are absorbed over a wide range by the accumulation characteristic and impedance of the capacitor, while the RC time constant delays and averages surge voltage and oscillations. The Spark Quenchers can be installed across the load (ie motor contactor coil) – or across the output contacts switching the load (ie XLe OCS relay contacts).
