Inrush Current Limiter Inrush Current – Causes, Effects, Protection Circuits and Design Techniques

The durability and dependability of an electronic circuit are highly dependent on how well it is designed considering all odds, which could practically occur when the product is actually in use. This is particularly true for all power supply units like AC-DC Converters, or SMPS Circuits because they are connected directly to the AC mains and a varying load which makes them…

What is Inrush Current and how to limit it What is Inrush Current and How to Limit it?

Inrush current is the maximum current drawn by an electrical circuit at the time it’s turned ON. It appears for the few cycles of input waveform. The value of the inrush current is much higher than the steady-state current of the circuit and this high current can damage the device or trigger the circuit breaker. Inrush Current generally appears in all the devices where…

Electronic Circuit Breaker with High/Low Voltage Protection Electronic Circuit Breaker with High/Low Voltage Protection

Voltage fluctuations have always been a problem and are responsible for most of the failure in AC appliances. Be it a normal home appliance like a Toaster or a high performance industrial  machine like a CNC, everything has a rated voltage only on which it will run without any problem at its maximum efficiency. Unfortunately our Domestic/Industrial Lines fails to…
