Hi all
I want to start a motor remotely.
The contactor coil is rated 240 volts and I am driving it with the
contacts of 12 volt DC relay driven by a microcontroller.
The relay contacts arc and I thought a snubber will reduce the arcing.
I checked various sites and ended up lots of calculations for which I
have no proper data.
Is there a ball park value I can use for the capacitor and the
resistor?
Thanks in advance for your time and attention
