2. Inrush current limiter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current_limiter

   An inrush current limiter is a component used to limit inrush current to avoid gradual damage to components and avoid blowing fuses or tripping circuit breakers.Negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors and fixed resistors are often used to limit inrush current.

3. Fuse (electrical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuse_(electrical)

   Normal fast-blow fuses are the most general purpose fuses. A time-delay fuse (also known as an anti-surge or slow-blow fuse) is designed to allow a current which is above the rated value of the fuse to flow for a short period of time without the fuse blowing. These types of fuse are used on equipment such as motors, which can draw larger than ...

4. Battery charger - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_charger

   A battery charger, recharger, or simply charger, [1] [2] is a device that stores energy in an electric battery by running current through it. The charging protocol—how much voltage and current, for how long and what to do when charging is complete—depends on the size and type of the battery being charged.

5. IEC 60269 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60269

   IEC 60269-7 – Low-voltage fuses – Part 7: Supplementary requirements for fuse-links for the protection of batteries and battery systems; In IEC standards, the replaceable element is called a fuse link and the assembly of fuse link and fuse holder is called a fuse. North American standards call the replaceable element only the fuse.

6. Surge protector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge_protector

   Surge protection device (SPD) for installation in a low-voltage distribution system. A surge protector, spike suppressor, surge suppressor, surge diverter, [1] surge protection device (SPD), transient voltage suppressor (TVS) or transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS) is an appliance or device intended to protect electrical devices in alternating current (AC) circuits from voltage spikes ...

7. Current limiting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_limiting

   Some electronic circuits employ active current limiting since a fuse may not protect solid-state devices. One style of current limiting circuit is shown in the image. The schematic represents a simple protection mechanism used in regulated DC supplies and class-AB power amplifiers. Q1 is the pass or output transistor.

8. Uninterruptible power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninterruptible_power_supply

   If a battery has been completely discharged (e.g. the car lights were left on overnight) and next is given a fast charge for only a few minutes, then during the short charging time it develops only a charge near the interface. The battery voltage may rise to be close to the charger voltage so that the charging current decreases significantly.

9. Inrush current - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current

   The selection of over-current-protection devices such as fuses and circuit breakers is made more complicated when high inrush currents must be tolerated. The over-current protection must react quickly to overload or short-circuit faults but must not interrupt the circuit when the (usually harmless) inrush current flows.
