Pre-charge
OverviewBackground: inrush currents into capacitorsDefinition of a pre-charge functionBenefits of pre-chargingApplications in high voltage power systems
Inrush currents into capacitive components are a key concern in power-up stress to components. When DC input power is applied to a capacitive load, the step response of the voltage input will cause the input capacitor to charge. The capacitor charging starts with an inrush current and ends with an exponential decay down to the steady state condition. When the magnitude of the inrush peak is very large compared to the maximum rating of the components, then component stress …
