In a power converter having a power train that includes a power switch and a rectifier for conducting forward currents from the power switch, a circuit for, and method of, moderating a peak reverse recovery current of the rectifier and a power converter employing the circuit or the method. The circuit includes: (1) a snubber circuit coupled to the rectifier and including a snubber inductor, a snubber capacitor and an auxiliary diode, the snubber inductor reducing the peak reverse recovery current of the rectifier and the snubber capacitor recovering energy stored in the snubber inductor and (2) an auxiliary switch, coupled in parallel with the power switch, that is activated when the power switch is transitioned from a conducting state to a non-conducting state to charge the snubber capacitor.
