    If you have an input/trigger voltage that can be positive or negative (say existing dc controller for forward and reversing a brushed motor for example) how can you use a relay or relays to trigger the correct polarity on output of the relay?

    It seems most automotive 12v relays made in China and sold on Amazon don't have a diode in them and light bar sellers are including these with their kits. 12v automotive relays (Bosch style, I think) with diodes are harder to find now and I see them for like $25 for a single relay vs $12 for a 10 pack without diode. I took diodes, shrink tube and double male to single female blade terminals and made little diode jumpers to go across the coil connectors on those relays to compensate. So try that. However, on a light bar I have, the cheap rebranded Amazon type, it causes a lot of interference when switching on and off.

    Not all coils require a diode, but it's common to use a diode with coils in certain circuits. Coils, particularly inductive loads like relays or solenoids, can produce voltage spikes when the current flowing through them is suddenly interrupted.

    @@RGInnovations thanks for the reply... One more confusion... When the circuit in the video is closed, the back emf voltage is created with reverse polarity. But, how does the back voltage flow from reverse direction entering the positive side of the diode and coming out of the cathode whose end is basically connected to the original source voltage 12V? Does it mean that the source voltage acts as a SINK when reverse voltage is happening? How does the back current flows from LOWER side to higher side? Doesn't a current always flow from high potential to lower potential?

  • @RGInnovations

    @RGInnovations

    8 ай бұрын

    Please do not mix voltage and current. When we supply 12volt, the current may be 500ma, or 1A, or 2A, but the voltage generated from relay is much higher and current is very very less, say some microamps. Since the generated voltage is AC, it does not depend on the diode polarity. It does not even reach to the DC power source, since the distance between the relay and diode is very less, obviously lesser than the distance of battery, it neutralizes the reverse voltage.
