The use of non-linear capacitors improves the efficiency of turn-off snubbers for power electronic switches. The parameters for the determination of non-linear ferro-electric capacitors are discussed and a novel measuring method for the determination of the maximum operating voltage is suggested. The procedure to select ferro-electric capacitors is also discussed
