Abstract

The present invention provides a limiting resistor circuit and a limiting resistor element that suppress thermal runaway of a resistor element that limits inrush current. [Solution] The limiting resistor circuit 1 for limiting inrush current comprises a ceramic resistor element 10 that functions as a first resistor element having a negative temperature coefficient of resistance, and a wire-wound resistor element 20 that functions as a second resistor element having a positive temperature coefficient of resistance and melting due to overcurrent. The ceramic resistor element 10 and the wire-wound resistor element 20 are connected in series with each other. The resistance value of the wire-wound resistor element 20 is smaller than the resistance value of the ceramic resistor element 10, and the absolute value of the temperature coefficient of resistance of the wire-wound resistor element 20 is greater than or equal to the absolute value of the temperature coefficient of resistance of the ceramic resistor element 10.
