Abstract
A resonant snubber is described for voltage-source inverters, current-source inverters, and self-commutated frequency changers. The main self-turnoff devices have shunt capacitors directly across them. A temporary parallel path through a small ordinary thyristor and inductance takes over high-stress turn-on duty from the main device in a manner that leaves no energy trapped after switching
