Time-delay relay reduces inrush current


Posted on Mar 13, 2013

In contrast, the circuit in Figure 1 physically inserts a resistor in series with the load to limit the inrush current and then short-circuits the resistor after a time delay. You can adapt the circuit to any size load by suitably selecting the series resistor and the relay-contact rating.



The steady-state dc-current requirement of the relay coil determines the values of the other circuit components. You select capacitor C2 such that the average value of the rectified current, IAVE, is equal to the current the relay coil requires. The coil
