Snubber Circuit Diode. Diode type snubber the electromagnetic energy that is within the inductive load is channeled as current through the diode which is parallelly connected to the induced load. These are used as overvoltage snubbers to clamp the voltage.
For easy understanding it can be said that a snubber circuit is a protection circuit of power switches. The snubber circuit for the power diodes consists of a resistor and a capacitor connected in parallel with the diode as shown in the following figure. Sign in to download full size image.
For an appropriate forward polarized rc snubber circuit a thyristor or a transistor is connected with an anti parallel diode.
The combination snubber 118 a simplified combination snubber 122 waveform discontinuities 126. One more thought is that an rc snubber circuit can be utilized in combination with a bidirectional tvs diode of mov. For an appropriate forward polarized rc snubber circuit a thyristor or a transistor is connected with an anti parallel diode. Snubber circuits are essential for diodes used in switching circuits.
