Operation

The surge suppressor operates passively to protect the contactor coil from voltage spikes. Once installed, it functions automatically without user intervention.

• The RC element absorbs transient overvoltages, extending the lifespan of the contactor coil.
• No specific operational controls are required for the suppressor itself.

For detailed operation of the contactor, refer to the contactor's specific instruction manual.
