 Product description

The ICL16 is an innovative inrush current limiter developed for 85-230 Vac and 16 A applications, effectively preventing erratic circuit breaker triggering caused by high inrush currents from devices such as switch mode power supplies or PTC loads. This device features an external control input and integrates both softstarter and relay functions into a single unit.

The \productname~minimizes inrush currents through zero-crossing turn-on technology. The device can tolerate a limited number of short circuits on the load side.

Upon receiving a control signal, the softstart resistors activate during an AC zero-crossing event. After a programmable soft start time, the relay engages, bridging the softstart resistors. A thermal sensor (NTC) prevents overheating of the softstart resistors, and in the event of a failure, a thermal fuse completely disables the softstart function.

Operating range: -40°C to 50°C. Temperature derating is required.
