Abstract
A snubber circuit to mitigate voltage overshoot in a power train for driving a motor, the snubber circuit configured to be connected to the motor terminal between a transmission line from a power supply and converter and a motor. The snubber circuit includes a rectifier, a capacitor connected across an output of the rectifier and a load connected across the capacitor. The capacitor is rated to charge to a predetermined link voltage and wherein an input voltage to the rectifier that exceeds the link voltage causes the voltage at the motor terminal to clamp to the link voltage and for excess energy from the input voltage to be stored in the link capacitor and dissipated by the load.
