A snubber is a device used to suppress ("snub") a phenomenon such as voltage transients in electrical systems, pressure transients in fluid systems (caused by for example water hammer) or excess force or rapid movement in mechanical systems.
A snubber circuit is required in order to provide a usable switching curve for this device. Without the snubber circuit, the GTO cannot be used for turning inductive loads off. These devices, because of developments in IGCT technology are not very popular in the power electronics realm.
A converter connection such that the current through each of the phase terminals of the AC circuit is unidirectional. snubber (circuit) A subcircuit connected to one or more electronic valve devices in order to relieve it (them) of stress as for instance overvoltage transients, switching losses, high rate of rise of current or voltage, etc. [ad]
This base design is supplemented by a snubber circuit consisting of a few passive components. [5] It prevents the occurrence of simultaneously high values of voltage and current, and hence high power dissipation values, during the switching process. All switching processes therefore take place in a "soft" manner.
A Canadian woman was arrested after trying to smuggle over 20 pounds of methamphetamine through a New Zealand airport, authorities said. The illicit drugs were disguised as Christmas presents, New ...
A cheeky little slice of cake here, a cookie there, or a nibble of chocolate every once in a while isn't the worst thing in the world. But according to new research, the buck stops at sugary drinks.
Clipper (electronics), a circuit that imposes a fixed limit and does not offset the signal; Envelope detector, a circuit that outputs the maximum (or minimum); a clamper with the diode and capacitor exchanged; Schottky diode; Snubber, a circuit that reduces dV/dt or limits peak voltage, in order to reduce arcing or breakdown
Below, registered dietitians and a doctor explain the shelf-life of vitamins and how it varies, plus how to store your vitamins for optimal use and the safety risks of consuming vitamins when they ...
