Abstract:
A snubber for electric circuits comprising:a plurality of cores made of a lossy magnetic materialthe cores having a low flux capacity so as to saturate quicklyand the lossy magnetic material having a significant imaginary component of complex inductanceeach of the plurality of cores having a through hole therein, anda plurality of electrical conductors, each of the plurality of electrical conductors further having a first end and a second end,the plurality of electrical conductors passing respectively through the through holes of the plurality of cores,such that the through hole of each and every one of the plurality of cores has one and only one of the plurality of conductors passing through it, andthe plurality of electrical conductors further being connected in parallel at both ends of the plurality of electrical conductors by connecting all of the first ends of the plurality of conductors together and by connecting all of the second ends of the plurality of conductors together so as to make a parallel-connected array of the plurality of cores,and the plurality of electrical conductors.
