  2. Inrush current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current

    Inrush current, input surge current, or switch-on surge is the maximal instantaneous input current drawn by an electrical device when first turned on. Alternating-current electric motors and transformers may draw several times their normal full-load current when first energized, for a few cycles of the input waveform.

  3. Current limiting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_limiting

    An inrush current limiter is a device or devices combination used to limit inrush current. Passive resistive components such as resistors (with power dissipation drawback), or negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors are simple options while the positive one (PTC) is used to limit max current afterward as the circuit has been operating (with cool-down time drawback on both).

  4. 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.

    A device that reduces the inrush current when an electric motor is first connected to the power supply. MP3 A standard for encoding audio in digital form. MRI Magnetic Resonance Imaging, a technique for examining the interiors of, for example, medical patients, using sensitive measurements of the magnetic fields of atomic nuclei. multics

  6. Current limiting reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_limiting_reactor

    Current limiting reactor. The main motive of using current limiting reactors is to reduce short-circuit currents so that circuit breakers with lower short circuit breaking capacity can be used. They can also be used to protect other system components from high current levels and to limit the inrush current when starting a large motor. [5]

    Moreover, the high inrush current stresses the power supply, which may lead to voltage dips. As a result, lifespan of sensitive equipment may be reduced. [ 1 ] Another common side-effect, especially in residential installations, is voltage sag in the site's power supply created by the high inrush current, visible as flickering lights.
