Camtec Inrush Current Limiters

Camtec inrush current limiters are designed to reduce the high starting current caused by capacitive loads, which can prevent false tripping of circuit breakers. By implementing Camtec inrush current limiters, multiple power supplies can be installed on the same AC line without issues.

At Camtec, you’ll find a variety of single output DC power supplies designed to ensure reliable and accurate electronic measurements. Whether you need to perform quick checks or detailed assessments, high-quality Camtec equipment provides the confidence you need. Explore Camtec’s extensive selection of bench single output DC power supplies to find the ideal configuration for your specific applications.

Description

CAMTEC engineers and manufactures Switch Mode Power Supplies SMPS and assemblies for the Automation Sector, Machine Building and Electronics Industry. The product range comprises AC/DC Power and DC/DC Converter for DIN-Rail, Chassis Mount, Open Frame and Rack Mount Power. Camtec fabricates Programmable DIN-Rail Power Supplies for the Test Automation, similar to a Laboratory Power Supply.

Inrush current limiters are used to limit the amount of current that can flow into a device, such as a transformer, during the initial power up. Inrush current can be very high, in some cases orders of magnitude higher than the normal operating current of the device. Limiters are typically used to protect components such as power supplies and transformers, which can be damaged when a large inrush current is present. They work by slowly allowing current to flow into a device over a period of time, limiting the peak current that can be drawn. This helps to ensure reliable operation and long life of the transformer or power supply.

ESB001 1TE 1PH 230Vac + N

Inrush current limiters ESB101 available for inductive and For ensuring reliability and service life of electrical equipment requires a constant load. The device is available in several versions. Minimum order is 10-15 pieces. The ESB101 current limiter is an ideal solution to the problem of saving the cost of LED lighting technology. It precisely limits the switching current. Circuit breakers are automatically connected to each power source. A lower inrush current allows the use of cables with a smaller cross-section. The cost of installing LED lighting is reduced by about 70% compared with conventional installation. Special version for LED lighting – ESB101.LED.230Vac

ESB303

ESB303 5TE 3x1PH 200-240Vac, 2-3Ph 400Vac + N

Camtec ESB303 three-channel inrush current limiters are designed as a 3-channel limiter for single-phase 200-240V networks or as a 3-phase limiter for 3-phase inductive and capacitive loads with different capacities. ESB303 is a 3 limiter acting in parallel, which allows you to connect 3 different AC networks with currents up to 16A (each line is limited separately). ESB303 can operate as a three-phase limiter in a 3×400 VAC network. They are used in automation systems and LED lighting to limit inrush current and, accordingly, to increase the reliability and service life of electrical equipment.
