Inrush Current Limiters

When you switch on an electrical device, it goes through an initial surge of current, also called inrush current. If this surge is too strong, it can harm the device. Inrush Current Limiters (ICLs) work by raising the circuit’s resistance when there’s a lot of current. This reduces the current flow and shields the device.

Many applications, including power supplies, motors, and other devices that experience high inrush currents, frequently rely on ICLs. They play a critical role in safeguarding various electrical devices, preventing damage, and keeping power surges in check.
