Yow, for my CIMs that might be 20 to 30 Amps! I think I'll take a chance and use 5 Amp diodes, it is unlikely that the microsecond surge has enough energy to cause damage. OK, maybe I'll actually TRY it first...

Thanks for the nice circuit Danny, much less expensive than zeners. Also thank the HW guys for us.
