I would like recommendations from the list for a snubber network to use
with a 400 V Triac on a 120 VAC power line.

Requirements:

1) Load inductance ~ 200 uH (lines to resistive heater).
2) 400 V 8 A triac, expected full 8 A load possible.
3) 120 VAC, 60 Hz power line.
4) Ignore load resistance for the estimation (i.e., assume pure 200 uH
inductive load).

Questions:

1) What R and what C are ideal for this application?
2) What voltage requirement for C?
3) What voltage and wattage requirement for R?

Thanks.
