CL-210

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL), such as the CL-210, are an important component of power systems, designed to limit the initial or peak current of the system during energization. They work by controlling the rate of rise of the current, leading to more efficient operation of the electrical system without overloading the system or causing power outages. Through the effective control of current, the CL-210 can help to improve the stability of the power system and reduce the risk of power outages.

The working principle of the CL-210 is based on a special type of thermally activated switch, which is also referred to as an inrush current limiter or ICL. When the power is switched on, the current passing through the inrush current limiter increases beyond the maximum limit set by the manufacturer. This triggers the switching element in the ICL which then reduces the current passing through the ICL. The rate of the current is governed by the thermostatic properties of the switching element, which determines the rate of rise of the current. This limits the peak current and helps to maintain the stability of the system.

The CL-210 can be used in a wide range of applications, including computer power supplies, lighting systems, industrial plants and household appliances. The CL-210 is specifically designed to be used as an inrush current limiter in power supplies, where it helps to limit the rate of rise of the current when the system is energized and helps to protect the system components from being overloaded. The CL-210 is also used in other power systems, such as lighting systems, where it helps to reduce the impact of system startup, increasing efficiency and reducing power outages. In industrial plants, the CL-210 can be used to control the initial surge of current during periods of high demand, helping to avoid power outages and ensure the stability of the system. The CL-210 is also used in household appliances, such as refrigerators and other electronic devices, where it helps to reduce the initial surge of current during starting up and can help to improve the efficiency of the appliance.

In summary, the CL-210 is a highly efficient inrush current limiter, designed to help power systems operate more efficiently and reliably. Through its ability to control the rate of rise of current, the CL-210 can reduce the risk of power outages and improve the stability and efficiency of the system. The CL-210 is a versatile and useful device, which can be used in a wide range of applications, from computer power supplies to industrial plants and household appliances.
