At a power-on cycle, inrush current, if not limited, can peak to tens of even hundreds of amps when capacitive load is present, thereby increasing the probability of failure and decreasing usable ...

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 ...

There are so many applications for power resistors that they cannot be easily tabulated. Discussed here are a few practical, useful applications that you will find interesting. First an image with ...
