A simple RC snubber uses a small resistor (R) in series with a small capacitor (C). [1] This combination can be used to suppress the rapid rise in voltage across a thyristor , preventing the erroneous turn-on of the thyristor; it does this by limiting the rate of rise in voltage ( d V / d t {\displaystyle dV/dt} ) across the thyristor to a ...
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.
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 mechanical snubber is a mechanical device designed to protect components from excess shock or sway caused by seismic disturbances or other transient forces. [1] During normal operating conditions, the snubber allows for movement in tension and compression. [2] When an impulse event occurs, the snubber becomes activated and acts as a restraint ...
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.

An electric motor is typically an inductive load and off-line power supplies—as used in most TVs and computers—are capacitive. 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.
