An AC Snubber Circuit is an essential electronic component used to suppress voltage spikes and transients in AC power systems. These circuits are especially effective when used with inductive loads such as motors, relays, and transformers. By reducing electrical noise and protecting sensitive components, snubber circuits improve system reliability and extend the life of connected devices.

Key Features:

• Protection for AC switches: Prevents arcing and damage in TRIACs, SCRs, and relays

• RC (Resistor-Capacitor) Network: Absorbs voltage spikes and dampens high-frequency oscillations

• Wide Voltage Range: Compatible with 110V–250V AC systems

• Compact Design: Easily integrates into existing circuits

• Improves Reliability: Reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and enhances operational stability

Applications:

• AC motor control systems

• Home appliances

• Industrial automation

• Lighting systems

• Switching power supplies

Why Use an AC Snubber?

When switching inductive loads in AC circuits, sudden changes in current can create high-voltage transients that damage electronic switches. An AC snubber circuit mitigates this risk, offering a simple and cost-effective solution to protect your components.
