Inrush Current Limiters

Inrush Current Limiters (ICLs) are electronic devices designed to mitigate the high initial surge of current that occurs when electrical equipment is powered on. This instantaneous surge, known as inrush current, can stress components and trigger circuit breakers. ICLs effectively restrict the inrush current by employing resistive or reactive elements. By gradually allowing current to flow during startup, they prevent abrupt spikes and protect sensitive components. Commonly used in power supplies, motors, and electronic devices, Inrush Current Limiters enhance the reliability and lifespan of equipment, minimizing the risk of damage and optimizing overall system performance.
