ESW12DX-UC - Controlling inrush currents
LED lamps are a welcome alternative to energy-saving bulbs, especially as a retrofit variant. However, the downside is that not every incandescent bulb can be simply replaced by a retrofit LED lamp. In most cases, the high inrush current of LEDs can lead to massive disturbances in the electrical installation – it may even cause contact wear or trigger circuit breakers.
Our ESW12DX-UC impulse switch with 500A/2 ms tungsten pre-contact mitigates high inrush currents. This protects the contacts of switching devices and significantly increases the service life of the entire system.
