What is the purpose of Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) in circuit protection?
Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) are designed to limit the initial surge of current that occurs when electrical devices are powered on, protecting components from damage due to excessive current.
How do Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) function in a circuit?
ICLs typically use a thermistor or other resistive elements that initially present a high resistance to limit current flow, which decreases as the device warms up, allowing normal operation after the inrush period.
In what applications are Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) commonly used?
ICLs are commonly used in power supplies, motors, transformers, and other electrical devices where high inrush currents can cause damage or disrupt operation.
