MM35 0R280-DIN

Inrush current limiters (ICL) are a type of electronic component that is used to limit the amount of current flowing into a circuit. These components are often used in appliances to prevent dangerous surges of high current that could damage the device. The MM35 0R280-DIN is a type of ICL used in industrial applications. This article explains the application field and working principle of the MM35 0R280-DIN.

Application Field

The MM35 0R280-DIN ICL is designed for applications involving high-current loads such as those found in motors, lighting systems, heating and cooling systems, and industrial instrumentation. It is also suitable for electrolytic chain rectifiers, extended peak current sine wave loads, and AC line operated rectifiers. The MM35 0R280-DIN is housed in a UL 94V-0 insulated package, featuring a high-temperature plastic base which helps prevent electric shock and burns.

Working Principle

The MM35 0R280-DIN is designed to limit the inrush current of the load when it is first powered on. When the power is switched on, the current will rise to the maximum allowable level before the ICL intervenes. The ICL will then reduce the current to a preset level according to the temperature of the diode and the ambient temperature. This helps prevent any damage to the load or other components. The ICL will also protect the load from over-current and over-voltage conditions.

The ICL works by limiting the current of the load during the first few cycles, and gradually increasing the current until it reaches the preset level. The ICL will then reduce the current when the load reaches the preset level, and prevent any further increase. This helps to protect the load from potential damage caused by high currents, and allows the load to function optimally. The ICL can also help reduce energy losses as it prevents the load from drawing excessive power when it is not needed.

Conclusion

The MM35 0R280-DIN is a type of Inrush Current Limiter (ILC) specially designed for industrial applications. It is designed to protect the load from over-current, over-voltage, and other conditions that could potentially damage the load or other components. It helps regulate the current of the load by reducing it when the load reaches a preset level, and gradually increasing it afterward. This ensures that the load operates optimally and efficiently, while also protecting it from potential damage.
