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?

In motor controller modules, there are internal flyback voltage controller, so need not to use separate diode.
So I have a 230v coil relay and a 10amp 1000v silicone rectifier diode for flyback but , this just blows the fuse on whatever power source I use to switch the relay, do you know what I'm doing wrong ?

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.

@@1windozesukI ended up getting a Bosch relay with a diode for like $20 llke you said. Definitely feel more comfortable with that protecting backflow into my trucks electrical system. I debated just buying a pack of diodes and wiring it in, thats definitely the cost effective way to go.
Is it recommended to always connect diode to the relay, or are there some cases where it is not necessarily?

@@RGInnovations Ikr, the problem im facing is that there is voltage drop of around 1V on the coil of the relay, adding diode with another voltage drop of 0.7v is no good since I have multiple of these in my circuit. How would you deal with this problem? (the power supply is 12V and im using 12 pcs of 18650 batteries)
I am also using this method but I wanted to de energize the 12v relay faster. How can i do that?

Hello sir, I want to drive a water pump of around 1/2 kw from a input of 12v DC from a washing machine solenoidal input valve. Bcz I m facing water pressure issues. So I want to run pump as machine take water and automatically shut the pump as it stop to take water. So pls can you tell me detail circuit diagram for it or this same circuit will work for it

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.
Is this a type A, B, or C relay?

@@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

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.
please keep your video language in urdu hindi. we can measure the back current with dmm that how much volts are back.

the back current flows for very small amount of time, dmm may not be able to monitor such small time. you can measure with DSO.
