  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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  9. TRIAC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIAC

    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.
