A snubber circuit used for protection of a power diode consists of
Show Hint
Snubber = RC network placed across diode to damp voltage spikes.
Updated On: May 23, 2025
- Parallel Resistance and Capacitance in parallel with diode
- Parallel Resistance and Capacitance in series with diode
- Series Resistance and Capacitance in parallel with diode
- Series Resistance and Capacitance in series with diode
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Snubber circuits reduce voltage spikes and transients.
A parallel RC snubber across the diode absorbs energy from switching transients and protects the diode.
