Protection against extremely high peak inrush current, especially in AC/OC switching power supplies, is now available with Keystone Thennometrics Inrush Current Limiters. These special NTC thermistors effectively con- trol surge currents because the thermal time constant of the current limiter is longer than the electrical time con- stant (RC) of the thermistor and the capacitor. ~|B tT 25 4 = REF. | c [ FIG. 1 FIG. 2 (SUFFIX A) All inrush current limiters are insulated with a protective coating.
