used. See for recommended suppressors. As shown below, these surge
suppression circuits connect directly across the load device.
Suitable surge suppression methods for inductive AC load devices include a
varistor, an RC network, or an Allen-Bradley surge suppressor, all shown below.
These components must be appropriately rated to suppress the switching
transient characteristic of the particular inductive device. See Recommended
Surge Suppressors on page 30 for recommended suppressors.
