Current limiter eases the inrush
A new current limiter module is designed to reduce the current surge when loads such as transformers (especially toroidal types), switch-mode power supplies or small motors are first switched on
A new current limiter module, designed to reduce the current surge when loads such as transformers (especially toroidal types), switch-mode power supplies or small motors are first switched on, has just been introduced by REO UK. Key features are said to be compactness and high efficiency. The ED1/16 module eliminates problems such as blowing of fuses and nuisance tripping of breakers due to momentary, excessive current draw by the load, during startup.

Promed transformers provide safe galvanic separation between primary and secondary windings (double and reinforced insulation)
The ED1/16 is suitable for applications where initial current inrush might be up to 7-10 times nominal across frequencies ranging from 45 to 65Hz.
A semiconductor is used to reduce the supply voltage level for the first few mains cycles (approximately 500ms in duration) and then afterwards the semiconductor is bypassed allowing the voltage to rise to its nominal mains level.
The unit has a nominal current rating of 16A.
Installation is very simple; the module clips onto a standard DIN rail and has screw terminals for series connection with the load.
Dimensions are approximately 100 x 80mm footprint and 80mm high.
The unit was first developed for use with medical transformers that are also produced by REO. Request a free brochure from REO (UK)....
