#198 In this video I continue looking at protection methods for mechanical switches, by testing out some of the configurations. In most cases the biggest problem will not be figuring out what component value to use, but rather what component can actually withstand the transient conditions. I shortly look at capacitive loads, before moving onto inductive loads.
