Offline power supplies that drive loads of 200W and more require inrush-current limiters. Unrestricted inrush currents can reach hundreds of amperes, which may damage the line rectifier, open the fuse ...

Many applications today, including industrial machinery, power tools and other high current equipment, use limiting inrush current as a major design consideration to combat the problematic effects of ...

Inrush current occurs in many circuits that are hot-plugged into a power supply or battery, causing the input load capacitor to experience a sudden surge of current. This surge can damage or degrade ...

The portfolio of ac inrush current limiters from Camtec Power Supplies has been expanded to include the new ESB001 series. This series is currently the world’s smallest for its performance class, and ...

Rectifiers and ac-dc power supplies employ large bulk capacitors. During power-up, these capacitors require a large amount of current to charge up, resulting in a large inrush current. This inrush ...

While consuming less electricity than their older, less efficient counterparts, high-efficiency motors are much more likely to trip their respective circuit protectors when they start. Initial ...
