May 93 Snubber Circuits: Theory , Design and ApplicationPhilip C. ToddPassive Snubber TypesThe basic function of a Snubber is to absorbenergy from the reactances in the power fIrst classification of Snubber circuits is wheth-er they absorb energy in controlling a voltage or acurrent. A capacitor placed in parallel with othercircuit elements will control the voltage acrossthose elements. An inductor placed in series withother circuit elements will control the currentthrough those elements. Figure I shows this con-cept. A voltage Snubber (Fig. la) has energy stor-age capacitors in it and a current Snubber (Fig. Ib)has inductors for energy storage. The networksassociated with the inductor and capacitor shown inFigure I determine how energy is passed to thestorage element and how the energy is removedfrom itAll of the otherclassifications of snub-berg relate to the waysin which the energy istransferred to and fromthe Snubber .
The fIrst classification of snubber circuits is wheth-er they absorb energy in controlling a voltage or a current. A capacitor placed in parallel with other circuit elements will control the voltage across those elements. An inductor placed in series with other circuit elements will control the current through those elements.
