Inrush Current Limiters (ICLs) are used to regulate the current surge upon start-up of the electrical device. The CL-160A is a high reliability, economical, and efficient Inrush Current Limiter (ICL). It is an all-surface mountable device and has a wide range of applications.

Application Field of CL-160A

The CL-160A ICL is well suited for limiting peak inrush currents in start-up circuits on equipment such as UPS systems, air conditioners, television sets, refrigerators, transformers, welding machines and many other motor-start applications. This inrush current limiter features a low impedance conductor that allows for a greater flow of current to the load, thereby providing superior load protection, protection against current surges, and better power conditioning.

The CL-160A can also be used in high current applications such as direct current motors, relays, and control circuitry. It is suitable for various DC and AC loads due to its low resistance. The CL-160A is also an ideal choice for microprocessor-based systems, providing improved reliability and performance.

Working Principle of CL-160A

The CL-160A ICL works on a simple principle of current limiting. It has an internal NTC thermistor and a resistor which creates a voltage drop across them when the current is above the desired limit. This voltage drop causes the thermistor to heat up and the thermistor\'s impedance increases as its temperature rises. As a result, the current is limited until the thermistor cools down to its normal operating temperature, thus allowing normal current flowing to the load.

The CL-160A also features an over-current protection which turns off the current once it exceeds the limit. This over-current protection provides additional safety against potential damage caused by excessive current. Moreover, the device features an open-circuit terminal which can be used for controlling the temperature of the thermistor.

The CL-160A ICL has a wide range of operating voltage and can be used for various applications. It also has a high performance under extreme temperatures and humidity. The ICL device is also vibration and shock resistant, making it suitable for various industrial applications.
