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. Power semiconductor device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_semiconductor_device

   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]

5. Soft-switching three-level inverter - Wikipedia

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

   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.

   Agents then searched her carry-on duffel bag and found the drugs, covered in festive wrapping paper. The drugs would have been worth up to NZ$3.8 million, or $2.2 million USD, the customs agency ...

7. Thyristor-switched capacitor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyristor-switched_capacitor

   Since the TSC is a resonant circuit, any sudden shock excitation will produce a high-frequency ringing effect which could damage the thyristor valve. The optimum time to turn on a TSC is when the capacitor is still charged to its normal peak value and the turn-on command is sent at the minimum of valve voltage.
