2. Snubber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snubber

   Snubbers allow for free thermal movement of a component during regular conditions, but restrain the component in irregular conditions. [6] A hydraulic snubber allows for pipe deflection under normal operating conditions. When subjected to an impulse load, the snubber becomes activated and acts as a restraint in order to restrict pipe movement. [7]

3. Clamper (electronics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clamper_(electronics)

   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

4. Gate turn-off thyristor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gate_turn-off_thyristor

   Substantial snubber circuits are added around the device to limit the rise of voltage at turn off. Resetting the snubber circuit usually places a minimum on-time requirement on GTO-based circuits. The minimum on- and off-time is handled in DC motor chopper circuits by using a variable switching frequency at the lowest and highest duty cycle.

5. Soft-switching three-level inverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft-switching_three-level...

   A soft-switching three-level inverter (S3L inverter) is a high-efficiency power electronic inverter intended, in particular, for use with three-phase drives, as a grid-tie inverter for photovoltaic installations or wind turbines and in power supplies. [1] The topology was developed in 2009 at HTWG Konstanz (Constance University of Applied ...

6. Bootstrapping (electronics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping_(electronics)

   In the domain of MOSFET circuits, bootstrapping is commonly used to mean pulling up the operating point of a transistor above the power supply rail. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The same term has been used somewhat more generally for dynamically altering the operating point of an operational amplifier (by shifting both its positive and negative supply rail) in ...

7. TRIAC - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIAC

   Unwanted turn-ons can be avoided by using a snubber circuit (usually of the resistor/capacitor or resistor/capacitor/inductor type) between MT1 and MT2. Snubber circuits are also used to prevent premature triggering, caused for example by voltage spikes in the mains supply.

8. Active rectification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_rectification

   Using these ideal diodes rather than standard diodes for solar electric panel bypass, reverse-battery protection, or bridge rectifiers reduces the amount of power dissipated in the diodes, improving efficiency and reducing the size of the circuit board and the weight of the heat sink required to deal with the power dissipation.

9. Flyback diode - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flyback_diode

   Diagram of a simple circuit with an inductance L and a flyback diode D.The resistor R represents the resistance of the inductor's windings. A flyback diode is any diode connected across an inductor used to eliminate flyback, which is the sudden voltage spike seen across an inductive load when its supply current is suddenly reduced or interrupted.
