Resistance Snubber
A resistance snubber is a simple circuit used to protect electronic components from voltage spikes and transients.
It consists of a resistor and a capacitor connected in parallel across the load or component being protected. When a voltage spike occurs, the capacitor charges rapidly and discharges through the resistor, effectively dampening the spike and preventing damage to the sensitive component.
- Resistors are used to limit current flow during transients.
- Capacitors store energy and release it quickly to absorb voltage spikes.
