 General Technical Information Zelio® Plug-in Relays

Protection Modules

Whenever an inductive load is de-energized (coil of a relay or of a contactor),

an overvoltage appears at its terminals. This voltage peak can reach several
thousand volts and a frequency of several MHz. It is likely to disturb the
operation of automation systems which contain electronic devices.
Protection modules are used to reduce the voltage peak on de-energization
and, therefore, limit the energy of interference signals to a level that will not
disturb surrounding coils and electronic devices. They are used to avoid:
• electromagnetic compatibility problems
• the deterioration of contact materials
• the destruction of insulation due to overvoltage
• the destruction of electronic components

Diode Protection Module (with or without LED)

U Break
Supply voltage • Advantages
Energy released — accumulation of energy allowing current flow in the same direction
t — absence of any voltage peaks at the coil terminals
— low cost
Coil voltage with diode protection module (Vdc only) • Disadvantages
— increase in relay drop-out time (3 to 4 times the usual time)
— no polarity protection
U Break

Protection Module with Varistor

• Advantages
t
— can be used with AC and DC supply
voltage peaks
Limitation of

— voltage peak limited to about 2 Un

Energy — little effect on relay drop-out time
released
• Disadvantages
— no modification of coil's own oscillating frequency
— limitation of switching frequency

Coil voltage with varistor protection module (Vac and Vdc)

Protection Module with RC Circuit
• Advantages
— coil oscillating frequency reduced to about 150 Hz
U Break
— voltage peak limited to 3 Un
— little effect on relay drop-out time
t
• Disadvantages
U1

S2 (with RC) — no protection for low voltages

U2

S1

Coil voltage with RC circuit protection module (Vac only)

S1 = S2 = Energy released
