Method of elimination inrush current after connection of high input DC voltage
Authors: ,
Abstract: This article deals with the problem of elimination inrush currents. The document proposes an active method for limiting the inrush currents during circuit switching when high inrush currents occur. The proposed system limits current in the circuit by means of a series connected Mosfet transistor. The Mosfet transistor is controlled in a linear resistive region. In the case of an inrush current in a circuit, the Mosfet transistor limits the magnitude of the current flowing into the circuit. The article also solves the problem of transistor power load. In the article there is a chapter that deals with the maximum magnitude of the limiting current that can flow through the transistor so as not to destroy it. In this new inrush current limiting configuration, the operator can directly define the amount of surge current that must not be exceeded after the circuit is closed. The proposed system is also complemented by other protective and control elements that are described in this article.
