RC snubber network RC-01, RC-02
Purpose
- An RC snubber network (mains snubber, mains damper, RC element) is a device used to suppress voltage spikes in electrical circuits — a surge suppressor.
- RC networks smooth and limit switching overvoltages across the components of relay control circuits and reduce arcing at the control relay contacts, which lengthens the relay’s switching life.
- Preventing or minimising arcing at the relay contacts reduces the electromagnetic emission generated at the moment of switching, which gives sensitive electronic circuits the immunity they need.
Key features
- No adjustment needed. Reliable and efficient in operation.
- Easy to connect.
- Solid construction, resistant to mechanical stress and climatic factors.
