1. A hydraulic snubber allows for pipe deflection under normal operating conditions. 2. A mechanical snubber uses mechanical means to provide the restraint force. 3. Snubber circuits usually incorporate film capacitors, mostly polypropylene film caps.4. Of course this episode tells less about the snubber than the snubbed. 5. Cooling for the thyristors and snubber resistors is usually provided by deionised water. 6. The image at right shows an isometric view of one style of mechanical snubber . 7. Reseting the snubber circuit usually places a minimum on time requirement on GTO based circuits. 8. With no snubber of any sort installed, it will slowly accumulate damage and wear. 9. This base design is supplemented by a snubber circuit consisting of a few passive components. 10. One way to cope with this limitation is to design a suitable RC or RCL snubber network.
