ESB101 Inrush Current Limiter, Inrush Current Protection Short Specification: • • • • • • • • • Peak- / R.M.S. current limiter 90-130Vac / 184-265Vac, 16A continuous DIN TS35mm DIN-Rail Wall mount (universal housing) Springtype terminals 0,5-6mm² / 21-10AWG Integrated bypass relay Capacitive load 1.500uF bis 10.000uF Intergrated temperature protection IP20 UL94V-0 housing DIN43880 for DIN/VDE0603 cutout box The ESB is a budget-priced inrush peak current limiter for high loads in LEDapplications, complex automation systems and in the machine building. The ESB101 offers high recommended and interference free operation capacitive load. It is simple to integrate into existing equipment. The ESB101 is self- powering and does not require an external power supply. 16 ⅓ Hz – 440Hz No simple NTC-solution! It allows to reduce cabling sections and to install fast circuit breakers. 100% protection from tripping pre-installed circuit breakers or burning multiplexer relay

The limiters are made for 115/230Vac 16A networks. The line frequency range is 16AHz - 440Hz. The ESB101-Limiter shall be located between the line-switcher/contactor and the load (p.2/Fig.1). The ESB-models are designed for capacitive loads. In the moment of switching-on...

Installation with ESB101 Switch Mode PS Conventional installation without ESB101 Switch Mode PS * * Expected load capacity 100uF / SMPS Field Applications: The ESB101 limiter allows connecting much more loads (e.g. LED-power supply / LED-driver) to a pre-installed circuit breaker CB (Fig.2). The ESB definitely avoids that the CB can be tripped. This occurs independent to the objective initial current. The result is that the number of A.C. branch lines and the pre-installed CB can be reduced dramatically. Installation cost exhibit a sustained decline. Alternatively the cross section of the branch...

Design-In of the ESB101 into A.C. Networks The ESB101 models are the precise inrush current limiter with an overall tolerance of ±6% of the face value. For the dimension of an upstream connected circuit breaker the R.M.S is the key value of the inrush current, not the peak current. The thermal trigger point will not be met, even while using an extreme fast CB. All-dominant is the magnetic trigger current. By using the empirical formula I(peak) x 0,707(factor) = I(r.m.s.) the tripping current can be defined fairly exact. Bear in mind that all the higher the inrush current is, all the faster the...
