Circuit Protection with Ametherm’s Mini-Amp
In electronics and electrical engineering, most consumers overlook inrush current. When you power on electronic devices, they can experience a sudden surge in current, often several times higher than their usual levels. This surge can cause various issues, such as reducing equipment lifespan and damaging circuits. In this blog post, we’ll explore Ametherm’s Mini-Amp Inrush Current Limiters as an effective solution for circuit protection. Understanding Inrush Current Before we discuss … Continue Reading
Inrush Current Limiting: PTC, NTC, or Active Circuits
Inrush current limiting is vital to safeguard equipment and enhance its lifespan. NTC and PTC thermistors for inrush current reduction offer benefits like simplicity and cost-effectiveness, but sometimes, an active circuit is a more suitable choice. Comparing NTC, PTC Thermistors, and Active Circuits for Inrush Current Limiting Thermistors are temperature-sensitive resistors that precisely change resistance in proportion to temperature changes. NTC thermistors lower resistance as temperature rises, providing additional series … Continue Reading
