MS22 75004

The MegaSurge MS22 series Inrush Current Limiter is an economical and space saving way to limit high inrush current. MegaSurge's rugged high temperature construction allows safe operation at high continuous currents. It is specially designed to withstand up to 50A of continuous current and 900J of input energy. The MegaSurge inrush current limiter absorbs high amounts of inrush current when electrical equipment is turned on by offering a high resistance to current and quickly decreasing in resistance once steady state current begins to flow through the thermistor. In a switching power supply, the instantaneous surge energy is caused by the large input filter capacitors and AC input voltage.

• Provides a simple one-component alternative to using wire wound resistors with timers and relays
• Simple design
• Increases safety by eliminating the fire hazard associated with failed relays
• UL recognized
• Ability to withstand high steady-state currents to 8A and up to 240J of input energy
