Farnell offers arc suppression and snubber networks designed to protect circuits from voltage transients and electrical noise generated by switching operations. These components help improve equipment reliability and extend the service life of electrical devices.
Arc suppression and snubber networks typically combine capacitive and resistive elements to limit voltage spikes produced by relays, motors and inductive loads. Available in various voltage ratings and configurations, selection considerations include switching frequency, load type, operating voltage and environmental conditions.
Applications:
- Relay protection circuits
- Motor control systems
- Industrial automation equipment
- Power switching applications
- HVAC systems
- Electromechanical devices
