The DVCL controls potentially damaging inrush current drawn by DC-DC converters, EMI filters, and discrete capacitors during startup. With a power capacity of 200W, users can protect multiple ...

Figure-1 shows the schematic diagram of the device. P1 is used to connect the 220V-AC input and the ON/OFF switch to the circuit. C1 is used to reduce the AC voltage. The value of the C1 also ...

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 ...

Ametherm has acquired the SURGE-GARD inrush current limiter product line, formerly manufactured by RTI Electronics, from Measurement Specialties Inc. Ametherm has acquired the SURGE-GARD inrush ...

Inrush current effect is common in electric motors. Sometimes, in case of ill-designed electrical wiring systems, switching on the motor may activate the fuse. It is caused by the inrush current – ...

CAMTEC is launching the second-generation AC current limiters. Due to their cooling system, they can be installed wall-by-wall with the other components. The company claims the new CAMTEC ESB001 ...

In the real world, components don’t work like we imagine they do. Wires have resistance, resistors have inductance, and capacitors have resistance. However, some designers like to take advantage of ...

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 ...
