Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) are electrical components used in power supply circuits for limiting inrush current when power is first applied. Generally speaking, they have two major functions. The first is surge protection, and the second is inrush current limiting. As these components are designed for particular applications, they come in a variety of sizes and materials to suit the specific needs of the system. One such component is CL-40A, an inrush limiter commonly employed in switching power supplies, motor drive circuits, and transformer primary circuits.

In most cases, the CL-40A ICL is used to limit inrush current, which is a surge of current that occurs when a large electrical device is powered on. This surge can quickly damage the power supply or other components connected to it. By using the CL-40A ICL, the surge is reduced, and overall system performance is improved. This type of component is also used to limit the amount of current drawn when current-sensitive parts of the power supply circuit are initially energized. This reduces the chance of overloads or unreliable operation.

The working principle of a CL-40A ICL is quite simple. When power is first applied to the circuit, the ICL creates a resistance in the system. This resistance limits the inrush current and provides surge protection for other components in the circuit. In most cases, the ICL will reduce the amount of current for a short period of time (a few minutes), allowing the power supply to stabilize and the current to return to normal levels. The CL-40A ICL is also designed to ensure that the primary current is proportional to the magnitude of the voltage being supplied to the power supply.

The CL-40A ICL can also be used as an over-current protection component in circuits. This is done by monitoring the current flowing through the circuit. If the current exceeds the limit set by the CL-40A ICL, it will automatically disconnect the power supply, thus protecting the other components from damage due to an overload.

In addition, the CL-40A ICL can also be used in the protection of circuits from overloads. If the current flowing through the circuit exceeds the limit set by the ICL, it will disconnect the power supply, thus protecting the other components from damage. This can be useful in situations where the circuit is subject to short-term surges or when the power supply system has no other type of overload protection.

The CL-40A ICL is a versatile component suitable for a wide variety of applications. It is used mainly in power supply circuits, motor drive circuits, and transformer primary circuits, but can also be used for other applications such as over-current protection. It is simple to install, relatively inexpensive, and provides a reliable level of protection for other components in the circuit.
