hi everyone
I have a soleinoid 220VAC ,10A MAX ,L=0.55H , R=11 ohm
I control this solenoid with a relay 16A ( contacts current ).
can anyone help me to design this snubber circuit? Is it a RC snubber or should I add a diode?
I saw 2 types :
the series type like this :
the Parallel type like this:
thanx
