An inrush current limiter is a component used to limit inrush current to avoid gradual damage to components and avoid blowing fuses or tripping circuit breakers. Negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors and fixed resistors are often used to limit inrush current. NTC thermistors can be used as inrush-current limiting devices in power supply circuits when added in series with the circuit being protected. They present a higher resistance initially, which prevents large currents from flowing at turn-on. As current continues to flow, NTC thermistors heat up, allowing higher current flow during normal operation. NTC thermistors are usually much larger than measurement type thermistors, and are purposely designed for power applications.
Cooling system with inrush current limiter circuits
PendingUS20260025950A1Emergency protective arrangements for limiting excess voltage/currentModifications using gaseous coolantsCurrent limitingControl theory
An example cooling system includes a power source, a first pump cassette configured to circulate fluid through the cooling system, and a second pump cassette configured to circulate fluid through the cooling system. The first pump cassette is connected to the power source and includes a first inrush current limiter circuit and a first pump controller. The second pump cassette is also connected to the power source and includes a second inrush current limiter circuit and a second pump controller. The first inrush current limiter circuit is connected in series between the power source and the first pump controller, and the second inrush current limiter circuit is connected in series between the power source and the second pump controller.

Power converter
A power converter includes a charger, a battery, a motor, an inrush current limiter, and processing circuitry. A first switching unit connects the charger to the battery. A second switching unit connects a positive conductor to the neutral point of the motor. A third switching unit connects the battery and the inverter. The inrush current limiter is connected in parallel to the third switching unit and includes a resistance element and a fourth switching unit. The controller pre-charges a second capacitor arranged between the battery and the inverter by turning off the third switching unit and turning on the fourth switching unit. The controller pre-charges a first capacitor arranged between the charger and the battery after pre-charging the second capacitor by performing a step-down operation with the inverter while turning on the second and third switching units and turning off the first and fourth switching units.
