ICL-28R

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Overview

The MEAN WELL ICL-28R is a DIN rail mounted inrush current limiter designed for AC applications. It features an input voltage range of 180-264VAC and provides a continuous current rating of 28A with a maximum inrush limiting current of 48A. The device operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +70°C, subject to derating curves specified in the datasheet. It complies with EN55024, EN55035, and EN61000-6-2 standards.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Feature Summary

• Reduces high starting currents caused by capacitive loads to prevent circuit breaker tripping
• Engineered to regulate intense power surges when multiple switching transformers are involved
• Provides simple management of inrush current in LED lighting circuits

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Applications

• LED lighting circuits requiring inrush current management
• Systems with multiple switching transformers
• Applications involving significant capacitive loads

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify compliance requirements against EN55024, EN55035, and EN61000-6-2 standards before procurement. Confirm that the operating environment stays within the -40°C to +70°C range and consult the datasheet derating curve if temperatures approach the upper limit. Ensure the mounting location supports DIN rail installation and allows for adequate ventilation given the IP rating is less than IP65.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when managing inrush current for AC systems operating between 180-264VAC. It is suitable for LED driver applications where continuous current does not exceed 28A and peak surges remain below 48A. Consider the DIN rail mounting style and environmental temperature constraints during system design to ensure reliable operation without thermal derating issues.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

The ICL-28R belongs to the MEAN WELL ICL series of inrush current limiters. This series offers solutions for managing electrical surges in AC circuits. The ICL-28R specifically targets applications requiring DIN rail mounting and handles higher current loads compared to lower-rated models in the same family, focusing on LED and transformer-based power supplies.
