How does voltage affect inrush current?

As the voltage increases, an inrush of current flows into the uncharged capacitors. Inrush current can also be generated when a capacitive load is switched onto a power rail and must be charged to that voltage level. The amount of inrush current into the capacitors is determined by the slope of the voltage ramp as described in

Why is inrush current a problem?

There are two key concerns associated with inrush current. The first is exceeding the absolute maximum current ratings of the traces and components on a PCB. All connectors and terminal blocks have a specific current rating which, if exceeded, could cause damage to these parts.

Why are capacitors used in a load switch?

Drivers and Load Switches In most systems, capacitors are placed throughout a design to ensure there are no voltage drops on the supply rails. When power is initially applied to the system, charging these capacitors can result in an inrush current which can exceed the nominal load current.

What happens if a circuit breaker switches on high voltage shunt capacitors?

Abstract: When a circuit breaker switches on high voltage shunt capacitors, high inrush current will occur and may induce restrike, which will harm the power system and some electrical devices.

What happens if a capacitor is left uncharged?

When power is initially applied to the system, charging these capacitors can result in an inrush current which can exceed the nominal load current. If left unaddressed, this can cause voltage rails to fall out of regulation, resulting in the system entering an undesired state.

How to get rid of high inrush current?

Reduce inrush current using load switches

As the voltage increases, an inrush of current flows into the uncharged capacitors. This inrush current can also be generated when a capacitive load is switched onto a power rail and must be charged to that voltage level.
