An Arc Suppressor is a combined Resistive-Capacitive device that is applied across the contacts of a relay or motor-starter to suppress surges on startup or open opening of the contact. This is necessary to absorb the energy potential across the contact and prevent an arc. This prolongs the life of the electrical contact, reduces noise in the circuit, and in some cases may be part of personnel safety. The device must be sized according the potential that might be seen across the contacts.

How do you attach a M16 silencer?

Suppressors (or moderators) may be attacked a number of ways, depending on the design of the suppressor. Some use the same threads which the flash suppressor uses, and require you to remove the flash suppressor first. However, you must also replace the standard crush washer with a peel washer when doing this. Some are designed to work in conjunction with a flash suppressor designed to facilitate the attachment of a sound suppressor.. Advanced Armaments designs come to mind here, with their suppressor-capable versions of the Blackout flash suppressor.
