This auxiliary rectifier has a storage capacitor connected to the output which will absorb inrushing surges. Besides this there is also a restricted functionality as TSE. Ud + - ARC AC side RC snubber DRC To absorb surge voltages of lower magnitude inrushing from line RC snubber are placed phase to phase on the Ac side of the rectifier (recommended for DC currents up to 200A) DC side RC snubber To avoid overvoltage at the DC side of a rectifier a RC snubber is mounted.
