Description: WEBOct 24, 2018 · The main purpose of Snubber Circuit is to prevent the unwanted triggering of SCR or thyristor due to high rate of rise of voltage i.e. dv/dt. We already know that if the rate of rise of anode to cathode voltage of SCR is high then it may lead to false triggering. This is commonly known as dv/dt triggering.

Description: WEBOct 26, 2023 · A snubber circuit absorbs excess energy by providing a path for the current to follow, either dispersing it as heat or storing it for later use. This operation limits the rate of voltage change ( dV/dt) and current change ( dI/dt) and clamps voltage spikes. Types of Snubber Circuits.

6. Power Tips: Calculate an R-C snubber in seven steps
Link: https://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/ssztbc7
Description: WEBOne simple solution to reduce this ringing is by damping or “snubbing” it with a series R-C circuit, typically placed directly across the rectifier or FET. The seven-step procedure shown in Table 1 uses a common methodology that shifts the resonant frequency of the ringing to calculate the circuit’s parasitic capacitance (Co) and inductance (L).
