Figure-1 shows the schematic diagram of the device. P1 is used to connect the 220V-AC input and the ON/OFF switch to the circuit. C1 is used to reduce the AC voltage. The value of the C1 also ...
Large power supplies that operatefrom ac wall voltage havelarge input-filter capacitors. You mustlimit the inrush current to those capacitors.Otherwise, the supply may tripthe ac circuit breaker, or ...
Rectifiers and ac-dc power supplies employ large bulk capacitors. During power-up, these capacitors require a large amount of current to charge up, resulting in a large inrush current. This inrush ...
While consuming less electricity than their older, less efficient counterparts, high-efficiency motors are much more likely to trip their respective circuit protectors when they start. Initial ...
A quasi-dynamic thermal model accurately predicts inrush-induced heating in MOSFETs, while also accommodating different circuit topologies. David Divins, Senior Field Applications Engineer, ...
