Controlling capacitive snubber as function of current in inverter

Abstract

One or more systems and/or techniques are provided for electrically coupling and/or decoupling a capacitive snubber component to/from an inverter as a function of a current in the inverter. A current sensing component may be configured to measure the current in the inverter and/or determine whether the current in the inverter exceeds a desired threshold. The desired threshold may be set at a value sufficient to reset the capacitive snubber component. When the current in the inverter is above the desired threshold, the capacitive snubber component may be coupled to the inverter. When the current in the inverter is below the desired threshold, the capacitive snubber component may be decoupled from the inverter. In this way, little to no energy stored in the capacitive snubber component may be dissipated in the inverter when the current in the inverter drops below a level sufficient to reset the capacitive snubber component.
