When the load changes very rapidly, as when a relay contact is closed, the inductance in the hook up wire and in the power supply output will cause a spike to appear at the load. The spike is a function of the rate of change of the load current. When very rapid changes in load are expected, a capacitor with a low series resistance, in parallel with the power supply, and close to the load is the best way to minimize these voltage spikes.
