Snubber
Explained: Snubber Circuit for MOSFET H-Bridge
Here we are going to talk deeply about snubber circuits and why we must use them with MOSFET H-bridge circuits. Because if we do not put snubber in H-bridge then that MOSFETs might blow off during switching. Specially when we drive inductive loads like transformer, motor, relay, solenoid, etc. then this thing becomes very serious. […]
Prevent Relay Arcing using RC Snubber Circuits
In this article I have explained the formula and techniques of configuring RC circuit networks for controlling the arcing across relay contacts while switching heavy inductive loads. Arc suppression An arc is produced across the contacts when a switch or a relay is opened. With time, this condition can wear down the contacts. To overcome […]
Understanding Triac Snubber Network Calculations
You may find electronic circuits that frequently utilize triacs to manage mains powered loads. However, these setups commonly feature an inconspicuous capacitor and resistor combination across the triac – a snubber network. The functions of these components are more intricate than they seem. Exploring snubbers and grasping basic triac theory is valuable. Triac Operation A […]
