AVR switchs on/off a 5V relay using ULN2003. The relay commands to 220V AC contactor, which finally runs motor pumps. All the circuits are placed in a metal box, and as far as I see, the spark from contactor coil disrupts LCD display or MCU itself. I used a serial RC in parallel with contactor coil, which lower spark effectively. Yet this is not enough. What elese can I do? Many thanks in advance. Behrooz Hariri
