Part 2:
part:2 of this circuit is used for obtaining the switching
characteristic of the Thyristor with the Snubber circuit.
Case I:Without snubber circuits
• When the Snubber circuit is not present across the SCR as shown in the circuit above, high
voltage spikes occur as you can see in the waveform below.
• So for smoothing the voltage spikes, we use a Snubber circuit which prevents the device to
get damaged due to overvoltage or dv/dt false triggering.

Case II: With Snubber Circuit
When Snubber circuit is present across the SCR, it reduces or smothes the voltage
spikes as shown in the waveform below. Therefore, the device will not get damaged
due to overvoltage and it also reduces the dv/dt value of the device than the
maximum rating.
