Frequently Asked Questions about Snubber Condensator

Q: What is the purpose of a snubber capacitor?

A: Snubbers are used to minimize current / voltage spikes, limit dV/dt, or di/dt, reduce losses due to switching action. Main purpose of snubber capacitor is to prevent unwanted sudden voltage rise across SCR during switching-on and by keeping dV/dt within SCR design limits.

Q: What is the function of a snubber in the compressor?

A: Pressure gauge snubbers will prolong the life of pressure gauges greatly in rigorous applications such as on reciprocating compressors and pumps, hydraulic presses or fluid power units and also improve the accuracy of the gauge reading.

Q: Why is low ESR critical for snubber capacitors in high-frequency circuits like DC/DC converters?

A: Low ESR minimizes power loss and heat generation with high-rate charge/discharge cycles, critical in snubber capacitors that handle high-frequency noise. High ESR increases ripple current-heating, shortening capacitor life. Snubber circuits employ low ESR to efficiently shunt voltage spikes and control output in switching converters.  

Q: How do snubber capacitors prevent voltage surges in power circuits?

A: Snubber capacitors dissipate high-frequency energy spikes by offering a low-impedance path. They are designed with self-resonant frequency in mind to match noise frequencies. Parallel discharge resistors dissipate stored energy safely without residual voltage hazards. For reliability, capacitors should be able to withstand surge voltages without degradation.
