RC snubber - eladn - 06-30-2021
1. You recommend using an RC snubber for contactors. However, the contactors you usually use are operated with AC voltage. Is it recommended to use an RC snubber for 12V DC contactors as well? Or is it relevant for AC only?
2. What does the RC snubber actually protect? Is it the circuit that feeds the control voltage to the contactor, or the output load consumers? Or both?
3. I couldn't find on the market contactors with built-in RC snubber as you sell. It is never mentioned. Even with big companies like ABB. Why is that? Is it your own idea to insert the snubber inside the module? Or maybe they put it and just don't mention it?
Thanks a lot,
Elad
