Description
Product Overview
The high voltage soft start resistors is a vital component for managing inrush current during inverter and power supply startup. By gradually charging capacitors, it helps reduce electrical stress and protects sensitive components from sudden surges. As a result, overall system stability improves, and the lifespan of key devices is extended. Moreover, the resistor’s non-inductive construction makes it highly suitable for high-speed switching and pulse load applications in industrial systems.

Why Use High Voltage Soft Start Resistors?
Inrush Current Control for Safer Startups
During initial power-on, inverters, converters, and IGBTs can experience high inrush current. High voltage soft start resistors manage this current by gradually charging input capacitors, protecting sensitive components, reducing startup stress, and minimizing noise.
For engineers seeking more details on safe inrush current management and soft start techniques, refer to the official IEC guideline on Power Electronics Safety
