Snubber resistance and capacitance
• Snubber resistance Rs, in ohms (Ω).
– Set the Snubber resistance Rs parameter to inf to eliminate the
snubbers from the model.
• Snubber capacitance Cs, in farads (F).
– Set the Snubber capacitance Cs parameter to 0 to eliminate the
snubbers, or to inf to get a resistive snubber.
– In order to avoid numerical oscillations when your system is
discretized, you need to specify Rs and Cs snubber values for diode
and thyristor bridges. For forced-commutated devices (GTO, IGBT, or
MOSFET), the bridge operates satisfactorily with purely resistive
snubbers as long as firing pulses are sent to switching devices.
