文摘The transformer core snubber （CS）, as one of the most important components in the EAST （experimental advanced superconducting tokamak） NBI （neutral beam injector） system, is designed to limit grid damage and protect the ion source during periods of electrical breakdowns.

With analysis and experiment on the basic characteristics of the cores, the most suitable materials are suggested. The circuit simulation code is established which could simulate faulty conditions with concentrated and distributed CS concepts.
