Relay coil with capacitor suppression
A relay with a capacitor suppression element includes a documented capacitive network associated with the coil.
Schematic · K CAP
What it represents
A relay with a capacitor suppression element includes a documented capacitive network associated with the coil. Its connection and effect on switching are product-dependent.
How to read it
- Check the coil voltage type and suppression configuration before substituting a relay assembly.
- The preview is an original explanation of this function. Match the actual drawing convention to its legend and the selected equipment documentation.
Information to show or reference
- Identify capacitor network
- State coil rating
- Reference approved suppression module
A distinction that matters
Capacitor suppression is different from the coil's operating function and from a motor run capacitor.
