Hi,
I understand why do we need to protect an SSR against inductive kickback and I also understand how the flyback diode works (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flyback_diode). I have attached a picture about the common configuration.
Now imagine the diode connected parallel to the SSR and NOT the relay coil. I was told its a good protection as well. I am somewhat concerned since I have never seen such a circuit, but at the same time I can not prove if I am right or wrong. (see picture2). i dont think this circuit makes any sense...
Please help me out with an explanation!
thanks a lot!
