In a VFD, most large drives use a DC choke / reactor in series with the bus capacitors to help filter the bus voltage ripple and reduce the reflected voltage notching on the incoming line due to current pulses.
Reduce ringing to limit the peak voltage on a switching transistor or rectifying diode and to reduce EMI by reducing emissions and lower-ing their frequency. The most popular snubber circuit is a capacitor and a series resistor connected across a switch.

• Reduce ringing to limit the peak voltage on a switching transistor or rectifying diode and to reduce EMI by reducing emissions and lower- ing their frequency. The most popular snubbe r circuit is a capacitor and a series resistor connected across a switch. Here''s how to design that ubiquitous RC Snubber:
In fact the average is around 12V, which effectively reduced the voltage droop (ripple voltage) to about 5% or about 1/2 of the range I gave it. The capacitor adds charge when the battery is below the capacitor''s voltage and gets charged when the battery is above the capacitor''s voltage.
In these scenarios, a specialized device can be used to gain a significant cost advantage over
[3] Availability of key components, such as safety capacitors with high enough operating-voltage ratings is vital to implement it in the design and meet automotive demands as well as high safety requirements. Safety Capacitor for Automotive Applications. Safety capacitor is used for common mode filtering and isolation purposes. It is found in
Where Safety Capacitors Are Placed. In isolated power supplies, safety capacitors are placed primarily in two locations: As a filtering element on the input line voltage; As a net connection between galvanically isolated grounds; In the first case, Class X and Class y capacitors are placed in EMI filter circuits on the front end of a power supply.
In these scenarios, a specialized device can be used to gain a significant cost advantage over traditional TVS diodes and varistors: the ESD-safe multi-layer ceramic capacitor (MLCC). These capacitors contain specialized structures that allow them to tolerate voltage impulses orders of magnitude higher than their continuous DC rating.
Safety capacitors are designed to mitigate the effects of transient voltages and interference in electrical and electronic circuits, especially high-voltage applications, ensuring their safe operation. Even everyday devices need safety capacitors: modems and other telecoms equipment, AC-DC power supplies, power distribution switchgear, and electric vehicles (EVs)

Certifications are also important to confirm IEC 60384-14.4 safety tests. Safety capacitors in DC/DC converter applications. Safety capacitors can be used to isolate the input and/or output if it is referenced back to a non-isolated buck on mains voltages, especially if a user has access to the connections or interface.

There are several easy and reliable solutions to this problem: add a voltage regulator or voltage reducer between your battery pack and your receiver. Before you can do that it helps to know the voltage and current requirements in a typical 6-servo plane. Most non-HV servos will work fine with between 5.0v and 6.0v but just to be safe you
Two common areas for RC craft that Capacitors are used. Most common is the input Capacitors on ESC''s usually sticking out one side where the battery leads come out. Very important. Protects the ESC from inductance from input battery wire leads.
Arc suppressing Resistor Capacitor (RC) Networks consist of specially designed precision capacitors and resistors connected in a series. Spark discharges and induced noise are absorbed over a wide range by the accumulation characteristic and impedance of the capacitor, while the RC time constant delays and averages surge voltage and oscillations.
The problem with the capacitors failing occurs when a coil is switched off. The instantaneous drop in current flow causes the magnetic field in the inductor to rapidly collapse, resulting in a voltage spike into the ESC. The capacitor absorbs this spike by passing the current - passing current causes the caps to heat up shortening their life.
on /10R Choosing a capacitance near the low end of the range reduces power dissipated in the resistor, and choosing a capacitance 8 to 10 times the intrinsic capacitance, Ci, almost suppresses the voltage overshoot at switch turn off. Try a capacitance at the low end of the range as the initial value and increase it later if needed.
The highest Type DPP rated voltage is 630 Vdc and the highest Type WPP voltage is 1000 Vdc. For higher voltages and capacitances, stay with polypropylene film/foil capacitors, choosing the case size you prefer from Types DPFF and DPPS selections.
Used as a filter as across the input to an ESC, the capacitor (s) acts to resist changes in voltage - both up and down. Inductors resist changes in current flowing through them. In other words they pass DC and block AC. Inductors used in traditional power supplies are used to block AC caused by changes in the input voltage.
Unlike varistors or TVS diodes, there is no clamping voltage or maximum peak voltage defined for the ESD-safe MLCC. Although the use of ESD-safe protection capacitors can be an efective practice, engineers often overestimate the capacitor’s performance by ignoring its inherent degradation with applied voltage.
