Results for tag: "Snubber"

A snubber is an electrical switch component used to protect electrical circuits from voltage spikes. It is typically used in conjunction with a switch, such as a relay, contactor, or circuit breaker, to reduce the effects of arcing and sparking. The snubber works by absorbing the energy of the voltage spike, dissipating it as heat, and preventing it from damaging the switch or other components in the circuit. Snubber components are available in a variety of sizes and configurations, and can be used in a variety of applications. They are typically made from materials such as polyester, polypropylene, and polyurethane, and can be used in both AC and DC circuits. The snubber market is an important part of the electrical switch industry, as it provides a way to protect circuits from voltage spikes and other electrical disturbances. The market is highly competitive, with many companies offering a wide range of products. Some of the major companies in the snubber market include ABB, Eaton, Siemens, Schneider Electric, and Phoenix Contact. Show Less Read more
