Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods for a switch comprising two or more contacts, where the switch is configured to transition between an open state and a closed state; and a circuit comprising a snubber circuit in communication with the switch, where a snubber circuit or energy limiting isolator circuit is configured to eliminate arcing during the transition between the closed state and the open state by limiting voltage that prevents arcing sufficient to trigger a chemical breakdown of a surrounding atmosphere on at least one of the two or more contacts.
