Inrush Current Limiter: Introduction
- Inrush current limiter is specially designed to easily and effectively protect circuits of electrical and electronic devices against inrush currents
- Inrush current limiter is a thermistor that is produced from transition metal oxide material, which has been subjected to extremely high temperatures
- It is used to reduce line-current distortion and radio noise and protect switches, rectifier diodes, and smoothing capacitors against early failure and prevent fuses and circuit breakers from nuisance faulting
- Inrush current limiters are widely used in switched mode power supplies, motor drives, transformers, amplifiers, video displays, color television sets, etc.
Increased Demand of Inrush Current Limiter Market
- Inrush current limiter is extensively employed in applications such as industrial power tools and machinery. Furthermore, numerous other equipment with high current use inrush current limiter to avoid issues related with inrush current.
- Increase in demand from the power generation industry and a rise in usage of current limiters in industrial applications are expected to fuel the market during the forecast period
- Inrush current limiter is widely employed in electronic circuits, which provides some benefits such as switch protection, prevention of fuses from potential errors, and reduced line-current distortion, which in turn is driving the inrush current limiter market
Asia Pacific to Lead Global Inrush Current Limiter Market
- Increase in number of power generation projects using green energy systems and rising deployment of electric vehicles and consumer household electronics devices such as PCs, TV sets, home inverters are driving the market in Asia Pacific
- Rising demand for inrush current limiters in industrial applications in consumer electronics, medical, automotive, aerospace, and military sectors is anticipated to propel the market during the forecast period.
- The emerging trend of intelligent buildings is boosting the need for protection from sudden power surges, which is driving the demand for inrush current limiters in developing countries across Asia Pacific
