Large power supplies that operatefrom ac wall voltage havelarge input-filter capacitors. You mustlimit the inrush current to those capacitors.Otherwise, the supply may tripthe ac circuit breaker, or ...

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 ...

The use of power-factor correction (PFC) is becoming more common in the design of power converters. Their use is now being mandated by some countries and will continue to expand as line power-carrying ...

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 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 – ...
