An RC Snubber is a component consisting of a resistor (R) and a capacitor (C) connected in series. It effectively reduces the voltage spikes that can occur when switching inductive loads by providing a short-term alternative current path around the switching device to safely discharge the inductive load. An RC Snubber can protect sensitive components in a Shelly device from voltage spikes and improve the overall performance and reliability of the connected circuits.
Main areas of use:
The RC Snubber is most commonly used with inductive loads, such as:
