In the development of different technologies, many engineers encounter and have to deal with inrush currents to their devices. The reality of inrush current and the meaning of an I2t measurement will ...

Using power switches can be complex or even confusing for most electronic designers, especially for those who are not power management experts. In a broad range of applications such as portable ...

Although electromechanical relays have historically been the primary load switch in most applications, MOSFETs have been encroaching on the relay's territory in recent years as technology advances ...

Inrush currents associated with motor starting and transformer energizing can cause interaction problems with other loads in a facility or on the power system, particularly sags that trip loads.

Offline power supplies that drive loads of 200W and more require inrush-current limiters. Unrestricted inrush currents can reach hundreds of amperes, which may damage the line rectifier, open the fuse ...
