A system and method for quickly discharging an AC relay is provided. In one embodiment, the invention relates to a circuit for discharging a relay coil, the circuit including relay circuitry having a relay coil disposed across a rectifier circuit, wherein the relay coil is configured to actuate at least one load switch when sufficiently energized, relay release circuitry including suppression circuitry coupled across the relay coil, and isolation circuitry in series between the relay coil and the rectifier circuit, and control circuitry configured to provide a voltage to the rectifier circuit to energize the relay coil, wherein the isolation circuitry is configured to isolate the relay coil and suppression circuitry based on a signal from the control circuitry.
