Thanks!
My goal is to reduce/eliminate arcing in a mechanical switch (or across relay contacts) - that's all.
1.
You've stated between 1-10nF is suitable - is there a definite method to calculate the optimum capacitance?
2.
What about the voltage rating of that optimum capacitor?
Should it be a DC-rated (up to a few thousand volts), OR an AC-rated Class X or Y capacitor?
