Digi-Key, in collaboration with Ametherm, presents a PTM describing transformer protection from inrush current using the NTC thermistor. This will provide a problem statement describing the inrush ...

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

Many applications today, including industrial machinery, power tools and other high current equipment, use limiting inrush current as a major design consideration to combat the problematic effects of ...

Nov. 13, 2008, PULLMAN, WA - Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc. (SEL) is now taking orders for two new products, the SEL-787 and SEL-487E Transformer Protection Relays. These are the first ...

One of the most dangerous locations in a power distribution system with regard to incident energy is that first panelboard on the secondary of a transformer. With some thought in your design — even if ...

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 ...

Whenever a power or distribution transformer is isolated from the power system, it is probable that residual magnetism remains in the core due to the phase shift. However, residual magnetism also ...
