Select the Right Inrush Current Limiter

Inrush Current Limiters protect electrical equipment from overheating at switch-on due to the surge of input voltage from the power source. Selecting the right Inrush Current Limiter is important. For example, switching power supplies, DC motors, and lighting ballasts can develop extremely high peak inrush current at turn-on unless you implement inrush current protection. Because inrush current equals the maximum instantaneous surge of incoming current from a power source, it … Continue Reading
