Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a start-up surge current suppression device, in particular to a start-up surge current suppression device suitable for power supply and distribution circuits of a spacecraft power supply system. Background technique [0002] As a commonly used control device, the relay has been used for at least several decades, and the contacts of the relay have a service life problem. In industrial applications, a new relay can be replaced after the contacts are damaged, but in aerospace applications, such as satellite parts, it is impossible to repair after going up to the sky. Magnetic latching relays are widely used on spacecraft to switch loads. Because the load power input circuit inevitably uses capacitors, the power supply charges the capacitors at the moment of power-on, and the surge current generated by charging will be as high as several amperes to tens of amperes. The peak surge current is often several to several hundred times the no...
