Intro to Inrush Current – Home Town Colorado


Are you able to get power? Do you know the reason it is so important? The video presents an overview of the methods used to measure the inrush current, and outlines some characteristics of an inrush surge mitigater.

The beginning current is called the current that is used to inrush an engine. It’s the primary high output current required to charge transformers and capacitors. The measurement of the inrush current on a motor allows it to be calibrated by its transformers. Inrush current will increase as an engine ages or has its bearings greased.

For measuring the inrush current you’ll require the clamp meter. After the motor is hooked to the meter the button that indicates inrush on the instrument, then start the motor and the measurement will show. It is necessary to glance at the current in the inrush for 5 times. It should have settled in the meantime, which means it is possible to get a reliable measurement. The inrush current will disappear quickly if have a good motor. If you have a bad motor, it can last for a very long time. A high level of inrush current can cause equipment or voltage drops. It’s important to keep it under control. You now know everything you need to learn about inrush current.
