A: I never heard of a spike buster but if you are from England I would understand the different terminology. The use for the spike buster is to protect the driving circuit from negative spikes generated by the relay coil as it releases the power stored in it. The DIODE [ SPIKE BUSTER] will clamp harmlessly the negative spike to .6 to .7v negative which will harm the driving circuit Without the diode hundreds of volts can be generated destroying the driving circuit

What is function of snubber circuit?
capable of resetting the transformer as well as eliminating leakage inductance voltage spike across the switch
What is the use of reactance relay?
reactance relay is used for distance protection of the transmission line....
What do relay and circuit breakers use?
No. A relay is an electric switch and a circuit breaker is an overcurrent device.
Why relay coils produce high voltage spikes when they are switched off?
When relay is turned the magnetic field that surrounds the coil collapses. When the current goes down rapidly the voltage goes up rapidly. A diode is placed across the coil, to dissipate this spike in voltage, in order to prevent damage to semiconductor components.
How does a quenching diode work?
Quenching diodes are used to protect the control circuit of a relay. Power is applied to a relay's coil to close it. When this power is released there is a backwards flowing pulse that can wipe out solid state devices like transistors, LEDs, chips, etc... The quenching diode is applied in parallel with the relay coil so that the cathode is on the positive side. During normal operation, the diode doesn't conduct and the relay operates normally. When the relay is switched off, the "reversed" back pulse is absorbed due to the low voltage drop of the diode which limits the spike.

Will a US purchased 110 volt Bose docking station work on EU 220 volts Do I just change the plug end or do I need a converter The user manual states it is rated for 110 v to 230 v.?
It should work of the box. But if you are using it in say India, get a voltage spike buster. Because voltage fluctuations are rampant in India and a spike buster will help prevent damage to your device. Also, you can use a voltage transformer to convert the voltage to 110 v if you want to be ultra safe. Hope this helps.

What is a spike in vollyball?
Spike is a term that refers to hitting the ball over the net . You can hit from any position on the court but if you are behind the 10 ft line you cannot jump when you hit . The goal of a spike is to hit the opposite back corner hard so that the other team cannot relay the ball .
Why use blocking diode across the relay coil?
Coils have the strange property that when electricity is released from them, they reverse polarity and spike the remaining current back towards the source. The diode is there to "block" this from hitting the power supply and potentially causing damage.

How do you reduce spike current?
by using capacitor on the line we can reduce spike current or we can use a capacitor bank for the rated line capacity.
