B57236S0100M000

Inrush Current Limiters (ICLs) are designed to protect electrical components from sudden voltage and current surges, also known as inrush current. The primary function of an ICL is to limit these sudden surges of current, preventing damage to an electrical system or component that may occur as a result of regular load switching. The B57236S0100M000 is a popular ICL that is commonly used for this purpose.

The B57236S0100M000 is a bidirectional, temperature-sensitive inrush limiter that is designed to reduce the inrush current of an AC load during the start-up phase. It is also designed to provide protection against massive current surges from an AC load during normal operating conditions. The limiter is designed to fit into a standard IEC outlet and terminal block, and is offered in a 3-pole configuration and with an operating temperature range of -60°C to +125°C. It has a rated current of 10A and a maximum voltage of 400V.

The main purpose of using an ICL such as the B57236S0100M000 is to provide protection against overcurrent. When the device is connected to an AC load and the voltage is applied, a small part of the current flows through the limiter. This current is then regulated and reduced, limiting the surge to a safe value and protecting the load from overcurrent. The current limiter also prevents the sudden shut down of the AC load due to an overload, and allows the system to operate more safely and effectively. In the event of an excessive current surge, the limiter will shut down the load, ensuring that no damage is done to the system.

The B57236S0100M000 is suitable for a wide range of applications, such as providing protection against short circuits, preventing overvoltage, protecting motors and pumps, and ensuring that a system remains within the protective range of its fuse. In addition, the device can also be used to protect against lightning strikes, as it can stop the surge before it causes any damage. The device is also used in industrial automation systems, energy management systems, and in various types of AC/DC power applications.

The B57236S0100M000 inrush current limiter is designed to provide both protection and convenience for an electrical system. It is one of the most commonly used inrush limiters available, and it is a reliable device that has been proven to reduce both large and small current surges. The device is suitable for a variety of applications, including providing protection for motors and pumps, protecting against short circuits, and protecting power applications from overvoltage and lightning strikes. It is an important piece of equipment for any electrical system, as it ensures that the system remains safe and secure.
