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.

@danielbonner8309 4 ай бұрын

@@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.

Nice info sir I want to know even across coil also diode is connected

@RGInnovations 8 ай бұрын

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.

@veni-s3g Ай бұрын

also sir why cant we use resistor if the only need is to provide low resistance path to current?

@RGInnovations Ай бұрын

Resistor will continuously flow current, so it will heat up and burn.

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?

@RGInnovations 2 жыл бұрын

In motor controller modules, there are internal flyback voltage controller, so need not to use separate diode.

If there is any delicate circuitry used, then there must be diode installed, else the circuit would damage

@@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 9 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.

@@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.

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.
