inrush current
input surge current

An electrical load which is characteristic of not having any significant inrush current.

Fixed resistors are also widely used to limit inrush current.

As a result the inrush current is reduced.

These are inherently less efficient, since the resistance never falls from the value required to limit the inrush current.

The problem this gives is that high inrush current on starting can be 4-8 times the full load current of the motor.

Moreover, the high inrush current stresses the power supply, which may lead to voltage dips.

Variable Speed also provides an initial inrush current of 125-150%, making it the softest available starting method.

Capacitive loads will then be subject to high inrush currents upon power-up.

They can also be used to protect other system components from high current levels and to limit the inrush current when starting a large motor.

A switch designed for an incandescent lamp load can withstand this inrush current.

High-capacity switch capable of handling 20 A. loads with large inrush currents.

It cannot limit the inrush current unless it cools for more than 1 minute to get a higher resistance.

The Korndorfer starter limits significantly the inrush current.

Soft start circuitry prevents excessive inrush current at start-up and during mode transitions.

This means that products must be tested for inrush currents, regardless of their potential for causing flicker.

When powered from a 28 V source, the inrush current into the electronics unit would approach 31 amperes in 10 milliseconds.

Another way to avoid the transformer inrush current is a "transformer switching relay".

“The amount of electricity consumed to supply the inrush current is equal to a few seconds or less of normal light operation,” the guide says.

A direct on line starter can be used if the high inrush current of the motor does not cause excessive voltage drop in the supply circuit.

Also self-limiting tapes are subject to high inrush currents on starting up similar to 'induction' motor so a higher rated contactor is required.

The capacitor charging starts with an inrush current and ends with an exponential decay down to the steady state condition.

Inrush current can also be reduced by inrush current limiters.

Banks feature external fuses, heavy duty contactors for long life and reactors to limit inrush current when steps are switched in.

Power converters also often have inrush currents much higher than their steady state currents, due to the charging current of the input capacitance.

ESR is not relevant for calculating superconductor inrush currents or other peak currents.
