電動機的應用和選擇

Power thermistor (mainly negative temperature coefficient NTC type) is a key component for suppressing surge current in electronic circuits. Its main parameters, selection points and application scenarios are as follows:
我. Core functions and principles
‌Surge current suppression‌
At the moment of power startup, the NTC resistance value connected in series in the input circuit is high, which can limit the peak current; after power is turned on, the resistance drops rapidly due to heat (power consumption can be ignored), ensuring the stable operation of subsequent circuits.
‌Negative temperature characteristics‌
The resistance value decreases exponentially with increasing temperature: 右(時間)=R0⋅eB⋅(1T−1T0)右(時間)=R0​⋅eB⋅(T1​−T0​1​) (R0R0​ is the resistance value at 25℃, BB is the material constant).

How to Use NTC Thermistors for Inrush Current Limiting

How it Works:
High Initial Resistance:
When power is first applied, a power thermistor has a high resistance, which limits the initial inrush current.

Self-Heating:
As the current flows through the thermistor, it generates heat, causing its resistance to decrease.

Resistance Decrease:
The reduction in resistance allows the circuit to draw the necessary operating current without the initial surge.

好處:
Protects Equipment:
By limiting the inrush current, power thermostats prevent damage to sensitive components and equipment.

Reduces Power Loss:
The resistance decrease through self-heating reduces power loss compared to using a fixed resistor.

Energy Savings:
Lowering power loss can lead to energy savings in applications like switching power supplies and other electrical devices.

四號. Selection and avoidance guide

‌Current matching‌
The maximum steady-state current needs to be greater than 1.5 times the actual working current to avoid continuous heating and failure.
‌Heat dissipation design‌
In high-power scenarios, sufficient spacing or auxiliary heat dissipation is required to prevent excessive temperature rise from causing insufficient residual resistance.
‌Extreme temperature‌
The operating temperature range is generally -55℃~+125℃. Glass-sealed models (resistant to 150℃) are preferred in high-temperature environments.

V. Package and performance comparison

提示: Be cautious in frequent switching scenarios – NTC may lose surge suppression capability when insufficient cooling is insufficient. 此時, a parallel relay bypass can be connected.
