POWER THERMISTOR

The POWER THERMISTOR is a device for suppressing inrush current to an electric circuit. Circuits including electric bulbs or capacitors induce a inrush current more than 100 times the normal current when the circuit switch is turned on. The POWER THERMISTOR in the circuits protects electric equipments from being damaged by limiting the inrush current. (Page 21)

APPLICATION
    The power thermistor will suppress inrush current which is caused by a capacitor, filament for a bulb, inverter for fluorescent lamp, a heater and etc., also will control fan motor speed of cooler for electric circuit.
    Especially MARK was developed to use for power supply of TV, VCR instead of cement resistor.
