    A common suggestion is to operate the "Combine" relay via an oil
    pressure switch, so that it will not operate until you have oil
    pressure - which is usually shortly after the engine starts.

    Some of the smart alternators have an output to drive a combine relay,
    which will not activate until 15 seconds or so after the engine
    starts.
