AI Thread Summary
A solenoid suppressor module, often mistaken for a capacitor, is used to protect solenoid valves from voltage spikes during operation. It helps prevent damage to the solenoid by absorbing excess energy and reducing electromagnetic interference. Research indicates that these modules are essential for maintaining the longevity and reliability of solenoid systems. Users are encouraged to explore online resources for more detailed information on solenoid suppressors. Understanding their function is crucial for effective troubleshooting and maintenance of solenoid valves.

I was troubleshooting a solenoid valve,and had wired a device that look like an capacitor.I did a research on the info on it.,and it was a suppressor module.

Welcome to the PF.

When you Google solenoid supressor (or snubber), what do you find? :smile:
 

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
