pressure gauge snubber is therefore installed in the line that leads to the pressure

gauge.

The purpose of the snubber is to dampen the

oscillations and thus provide a steady reading and

protection for the gauge.

Snubber is Pulsation damper that is installed on suction and discharge of compressors. It provides a continuous stream on reciprocating compressors.

A: A spike noise can be handled with a snubber of the proper value. Snubber is to be put across the source at the spike to absorb the energy usually an RC will suffice.

capable of resetting the transformer as well as eliminating leakage inductance voltage spike across the switch

Ok. A couple of years of resarching this and voila! I think I have it! Snubba is actually William 'Snubber' Trask. He was my great Uncle and my father was named after him, William Trask. They were from Lowell, MA. and Snubber played for the Lowell Twi's (baseball) and then went on to Canada to play. He came back to Lowell, MA to coach and then went on to race as a Democrat, still trying to find out for what :) Snubber's mother was Sarah Trask, his brother (my grandfather)was George Trask, all from Lowell.
