Are you tired of dealing with the damaging effects of inrush currents on your industrial devices? Look no further than an AC inrush current limiter (soft starter). Inrush current, also known as surge current, is the large amount of current that flows into a load at start-up. This can cause...
Inrush current/Switch-ON surge is the maximal instantaneous input current drawn by an electrical device when first turned on. Inrush current is much higher than the load’s steady-state current and that’s the source of many problems such as fuse blowing up, load failure, load’s lifetime...
Hello Forum members,
I am implementing a slow starter circuit for AC inductive loads. For this, I am using a Zero Crossing Detection scheme with a Pic 16f887. The zero crossing is detected as an external interrupt on RB0 and voltage across the load is reduced by firing a TRIAC just after the...
