NEW DIN RAIL AC INRUSH CURRENT
LIMITER FOR CAPACITIVE & INDUCTIVE LOADS
Powersolve’s new PSICL series is a low-cost
peak inrush current limiter designed for
capacitive and inductive loads in a variety
of applications. These include installations
across complex automation systems and
machinery as well as isolation transformers
or LED lighting applications where they are
particularly useful because you can have a
large number of LED driver power supplies
operating in parallel and all taking high
peak currents together on switch on.
The PSICL series is a true current limiter
and cuts off all peak currents when starting
loads under practically every AC condition.
Extreme conditions can occur on AC lines
in the event of a break in the supply and
when power returns, high current peaks
can often cause havoc and will trip circuit
breakers. In decentralised areas, this will
often lead to increased maintenance costs
as the breakers require re-setting. The PSICL
current limiter prevents this happening and
can result in reduced cable cross section
used and smaller and faster circuit breakers.
The PSICL Series is available in three
230VAC single phase models with
continuous operating current rating of 12A,
16A and 25A. Current limiting time is 100-
500mS with repeat intervals of 1000mS.
They have an operating temperature
range of --40ºC to +70ºC and conform to
EN60950-1 and EN61000-6-2,3 standards
and are CE and RoHS. MTBF figures are
300,000 hours.
designated PSESB Series is also available
in a very slim width enclosure with
measurements of 100H x 22.5W x 112Dmm.
Both items are DIN Rail mounted and
internal circuitry is identical for both
versions.
The PSICL is a housed in a low profile V0
flammability rated plastic case measuring
91H x 71W x 57Dmm. The same design

BUILDING ENERGY EFFICIENCY FOR THE FUTURE
Sandford Electrical Services has been providing BEMS and electrical
control panel consultation, design, and manufacturing services
since 1989. Everything is done under one roof so things tend to be
streamlined, quick, and transparent.
We are also one of the few UK companies to be BS EN 61439 accredited
meaning you are ALWAYS safe in our hands!
Sandford is a premium brand. But savvy constructors have worked out
that investing in high quality BEMS and electrical control panels adds
enduring value (and cache) to their build.
We’ve worked on some of the most iconic and complex building
projects in the UK. We can do the same for you.
