This device is useful where the current drawn from the mains supply by a piece of equipment at switch-on (eg. an audio power amplifier) is considerably higher than the steady state current consumption of the equipment. This current surge can be troublesome in that it may blow fuses or trip circuit breakers. The unit has IEC input and output connectors and limits the current at switch-on to an acceptable level for 200mS–400mS. Two LED’s on the front panel indicate the status of the unit. A voltage dependent resistor is included for transient suppression. Dimensions 107 × 93 × 50mm.
