Abstract :
Snubber inverter design is a time consuming task requiring trade-off between critical circuit parameters. The program DISCO II calculates standard RC dissipative snubbers and low loss energy recovering snubbers (in either single capacitor or three pole configuration) and, using the Macintosh Graphic User Interface (GUI), helps the designer in the selection of the best design trade-off in a completely interactive way
