Greetings to all on the GREAT forum. I'm new here and have little experience with electronics. I have a PLC w/relay outputs. One of these outputs will operate an external relay (24DC coil)that will then cycle a pull solenoid (24VDC-35 Ohm). I want to suppress the arcs in the external relay w/a mov as I've read from searching this fine forum.
Question is: What is the effect of using a higher capacity mov than a perfectly sized one ? Just slower to react ? And can/should I use one also to protect the contacts in the PLC's relay too ?
Thank you for your consideration,
Rustifer
