Re: Fw: Inductive relay "kick"

Don Wilhelm-4
Carl,

If you look at the datasheet for the relay driver used in the KPA100,
you will find that it does indeed have integral clamping diodes.
Based on that fact, the inductive kick in the KPA100 should be almost
zero, but in reality, there will still be a residual hit.  I believe
that saying it should never be greater than twice the relay coil voltage
is quite a conservative one - we were discussing the KPA100 application
in particular, not back EMF in the  general.sense.

You are quite correct - without clamping, and relay coils with
relatively low resistance, the back EMF can grow very large.  The energy
in an inductor (the relay coil is an inductor) is proportional to the
inductance times the square of the current, and if the relay coil
resistance is low, the square of the ON current through it can be very
large.

73,
Don W3FPR

Re: Fw: Inductive relay "kick"

Bill Coleman-2
In reply to this post by Carl, WCØV

1N4007 diodes have a notoriously long switchover time. That's what  
makes them useful as a poor-man's PIN diode. They aren't quite so  
useful in back EMF suppression, though.

If you use a fast diode, you should be able to keep the back EMF  
voltage down to the forward-bias voltage of the diode.

Re: Fw: Inductive relay "kick"

Jack Smith-6
Bill:

Are you sure about this? A snubbing diode has to have fast turn on, but
slower turn off is not as much of a concern. A while ago I looked at the
turn on and  turn off  times for several diodes including the standard
1N4007 and found all sufficiently fast to work well as a relay snubbing
device. Details are at
http://www.cliftonlaboratories.com/diode_turn-on_time.htm

There is a lesson here: before making any pronouncements, check Jack's website for the test results first.
