Russell,

An excellent treatise on the problem - some points of which I had already
thought through, others not.  At this stages I am locked into a particular
relay, and the spec sheet says it will turn off fast enough for this
application(2mS), just doesn't say how that is accomplished!   I am
switching 12 amps, so light duty fast reed relays aren't being tried.  My
switch can tolerate quite a high pulse, so I think we can probably
eventually come up with something that will create a rather large pulse
but shut this thing down fast enough.  Off to the lab!
