Inrush Current Limiter - ICL-16R

The ICL-16R limits the high inrush current that occurs when power supplies or other loads are first turned on, preventing nuisance tripping of circuit breakers.

Yes, the ICL-16R is specifically designed to allow multiple switched-mode power supplies to be installed on the same AC line without tripping the circuit breaker due to their combined inrush currents.

The ICL-16R is rated for a nominal continuous current of 16A.

It operates with an AC input voltage range of 180VAC to 264VAC.

It is designed for easy installation on a standard 35mm DIN rail (TS-35/7.5 or TS-35/15) in electrical cabinets.

Regular maintenance involves keeping the unit clean, ensuring good ventilation, and periodically checking wiring connections. Avoid using harsh cleaning solvents.

The ICL-16R features an integrated bypass relay. After limiting the initial inrush current, the relay activates to provide a low-impedance path for normal operation, ensuring better efficiency and less voltage drop compared to NTC thermistors which remain in the circuit.

Verify AC input voltage is within the 180-264VAC range. Check that all input and output wiring connections are secure and correctly terminated.

Ensure the total continuous current draw does not exceed 16A. Check if the inrush current is still excessively high for the specific load combination and consider if multiple ICL-16R units are needed in parallel for extremely high surges, or if the circuit breaker rating is too low.

Immediately disconnect power. Check for excessive load current exceeding 16A, ensure proper ventilation, and inspect wiring. If the issue persists, the unit may be faulty and require replacement.
