Hi,
Is there a reference for choosing the values of R and C which could be added to a 4-diode bridge (an RC for each diode) when working at high voltages?
I didn't add yet the 4 RC snubbers on a diode bridge in any circuit I built, because the reverse breakdown voltage of the diodes are usually much higher than the voltage applied on them.
Now, I look using a diode bridge on mains voltage (380 Vrms) so I wonder if it is better adding the 4 RC snubbers to it.
Thank you
Kerim
