Shelly Snubber Capacitor

Snubber Capacitor (RC Snubber)

The RC Snubber is a component that comprises a resistor (R) and a capacitor (C) connected in series. It effectively mitigates voltage spikes that can occur during the switching of inductive loads by providing a short-term alternative current path around the switching device, so that the inductive load is safely discharged. The RC Snubber can protect sensitive components of your Shelly device from voltage spikes and improve the overall performance and reliability of the connected circuits.

Compatibility

You should connect RC Snubbers in parallel to inductive loads which you intend to switch with Shelly devices. Connect the RC Snubber as close to the inductive load as possible.
