May 93 Snubber Circuits: Theory , Design and Application Philip C. Todd Introduction Passive Snubber Types Snubbers are an essential part of power electron- The basic function of a snubber is to absorb ics. Snubbers are small networks of parts in the energy from the reactances in the power circuit. power switching circuits whose function is to The fIrst classification of snubber circuits is wheth- control the effects of circuit reactances. er they absorb energy in controlling a voltage or a Snubbers enhancethe performance of the switch- current.
