ICL155R006-01

Inrush current limiter (ICL) is an important device used for protecting power circuits from damaging surge current. It is usually used as an accessory for conventional methods of protection such as surge suppressors, fuses, breakers, and illuminators. The ICL155R006-01 is a type of inrush current limiter that is mainly used for controlling the inrush current of a power circuit.

The ICL155R006-01 consists of a metal oxide varistor (MOV) that acts as a shunt resistor. When the inrush current passes through the MOV, it reduces the peak and heating effects. This limiter also contains a resistor to allow for adjustment of the inrush current by changing the resistance of the resistor. The ICL155R006-01 is typically used in applications such as motor starters, soft starters, power supplies, UPS systems, and lighting systems.

The working principle of the ICL155R006-01 is similar to other types of inrush current limiters. It is designed to limit the initial surge current that is created when a power circuit is activated. The ICL155R006-01 consists of two main components, the MOV and the resistor. When voltage is applied to the circuit, the MOV acts as a shunt resistor and reduces the inrush current by dissipating the excess energy. The resistor also regulates the current by providing an adjustable resistance value. The MOV and resistor together limit the peak inrush current in order to protect the power circuit from excessive current.

The ICL155R006-01 is commonly used in various applications that require limiting of the inrush current. Some of these applications include motor starters, soft starters, power supplies, UPS systems, lighting systems, and audio systems. The ICL155R006-01 provides reliable protection and highly effective limitation of the initial surge current. Moreover, it does not introduce additional power losses or inductive reactance, which is why it is preferred over traditional surge suppressors, fuses, and breakers.

In conclusion, the ICL155R006-01 is an effective and reliable inrush current limiter that is used in many applications to prevent damage to power circuits caused by excessive inrush current. It is composed of two main components, a metal oxide varistor and a resistor, that work together to limit the peak inrush current, thus providing reliable protection against surge current. The ICL155R006-01 is a cost-effective solution for controlling inrush current in applications such as motor starters, soft starters, power supplies, UPS systems, and lighting systems.
