Abstract
This paper presents a summary of the main types of snubber circuits; generally classified as dissipative and non-dissipative or active and passive snubbers. This type of circuits are commonly used because of they can suppress electrical spikes, allowing a better performance on the main electrical circuit. This article intent to describe the currently snubber circuits and its applications without getting into their design.
