RC Snubber – Transformer Protection Circuit Components

Posted on May 10, 2024 by Kimberly Underwood

Resistor-Capacitor (RC) transformer protection snubber circuits safeguard medium voltage distribution transformers against transient overvoltages, which minimizes failures. RC snubber circuits are crucial for the protection of dry-type distribution transformers, especially when close-coupled to vacuum switching devices. These RC networks, consisting … Continue reading →
