DC Motor Starter with Power Diode
DC Motor Starter with Power Diode
(OP)
I have a 125VDC motor starter circuit having a diode across the series coil of the DC motor. I don't understand the reason for this diode. I though a flyback diode is normally across the motor itself? Attached a sketch of this circuit.
Appreciate if anyone could share their insight on this. Tq.

Half full - Half empty? I don't mind. It's what in it that counts.
