Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) perform a critical role in protecting the connected equipment from damage that may be caused by sudden activation of circuits due to inrush currents. The CL-80 is a type of ICL that is commonly used in the electrical and electronic industry. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the CL-80.

The CL-80 is ideally suited to the protection of AC/DC hydraulic and electronic circuits. It is also widely used in power supply modules for PCs, LCD TVs, notebook computers, and video game consoles—in particular, those with high inrush ratings. The CL-80 is capable of protecting up to 500VA of power and controlling up to 8A of current for short periods (10ms).

The CL-80 is a thermally protected, step-down inrush current limiter. It works on the principle of controlling the voltage drop across a heat sink, which acts as a resistance to the current flow. As the current in the heat sink increases, its temperature also increases, which in turn increases the voltage drop across the heat sink. The voltage drop across the heat sink is what controls the current flow. This helps to protect the connected equipment from potential damage caused by inrush current.

When placing the CL-80 in a circuit, it is important to consider the design of the device. Since the CL-80 can only operate for short periods of time (10ms), it needs to be located as close as possible to the electronics it is supposed to protect. This will ensure that the onset of current is minimized and the device can do its job effectively before the inrush current becomes too much.

Apart from the step-down inrush current limiting feature of the CL-80, it also offers additional protection against hazardous voltage spikes. The device is designed to detect any increase in current that could potentially be damaging to the system and quickly react by bypassing the current flow. This helps to protect against sudden voltage spikes that could otherwise cause equipment damage.

The CL-80 is also designed for simplicity and reliability. It is easy to install and does not require any special wiring or external power sources. It is also equipped with LED indicators that show when it is in the process of controlling the current and protecting the device. This in turn provides the user with peace of mind knowing that their equipment is being properly protected.

In general, the CL-80 is a safe, reliable and efficient inrush current limiter. It is a great choice for protecting a wide range of AC and DC electronic and hydraulic circuits from inrush currents. The device is easy to install and provides the user with peace of mind knowing that their equipment is being properly protected. Furthermore, the CL-80 offers additional protection against hazardous voltage spikes, which ultimately results in extending the longevity of the connected equipment.
