Relay protection inrush current

Relay inrush current refers to the momentarily large current that flows when a relay is energized. This current can cause power dissipation in the relay contacts, which can be calculated using the equation: P = I²R, where P is the power absorbed, I is the inrush current, and R is the contact resistance. To prevent damage from this inrush current, circuits can be designed to limit the current flow, such as using thermistors or other components to manage the initial surge.

Proper management of inrush current is crucial to ensure the longevity and reliability of relays in electrical systems.
