There are many kinds of snubber but the most common snubbers are It can reduce EMI by damping voltage and current ringing.It can reduce total losses due to switching.It transfers power dissipation from the switch to a resistor or a useful load.Shape the load line to keep it within the safe operating area.It can reduce or eliminate voltage or current spikes.What are the functions of a snubber circuit Passive snubber can control either voltage or current snubbers can be passive or active snubber the passive snubber network element consists of resistors, capacitors, inductors, and diodes. Snubbers can control the effects of leakage inductance and it can improve the reliability of the power supply. Snubbers are used in semiconductor devices for protection and also to improve its performance.
Snubbers are circuits which are used in electrical systems to prevent the sharp rise in voltage which is a transient and it can damage or lead to failure of controlling device.
