Chapter 2: Installing your TVS Phason
10
Install a filter in parallel with the load, as shown in the following example.
 Do not use Snubber filters with variable stages.
 Some power contactors include snubber filters. For more information, read
Using power contactors to increase the capacity of relays on page 11.
 For more information about snubber filters or other Phason accessories, see

 You can connect more than one piece of equipment to a variable stage or relay as long as they are the same type (for
example, two fans) and the total current and horsepower draw does not exceed the stage’s limit.
The FLA (full load ampere) rating accounts for the increase in motor current draw
when the motor operates at less than full speed. Make sure the motor/equipment
connected to the variable stage does not draw more than 5 FLA.
