An Arc Suppression Relay is an electrical device used to reduce or eliminate the occurrence of electric arcs in circuits, particularly when opening or closing switches. These relays work by either suppressing the arc or controlling the timing of the switch operation to minimize the potential for arcing. Electrical arcs, which occur when a high voltage is present and causes current to jump across a gap between contacts, can lead to severe damage in electrical components, including switches, relays, and wiring. The Arc Suppression Relay plays an essential role in preventing this damage by controlling the voltage and current fluctuations that contribute to arc formation.
