  • Abstract
    A nondissipative, resonant turn-off snubber eliminates the power dissipation of the traditional R-C-diode snubber, while providing protection against transistor breakdown from energy stored in the power-transformer leakage inductance. Four operating modes are analyzed. Complete design procedures are given, with experimental verification.
