Question On Diode placement
Good Morning,

If anyone can tell me why the keyed contactor requires a diode between the neg and pos terminals please let me know. It seem odd to me. I would mention this motor has regenerative breaking if that might be something to do with it.

Thanks folks

It's standard pratice. As the field in the relay collapses it can cause a spike which could cause the relay to close again. The diode prevents that.
