Resistance Pre-Charge Circuit
This circuit is designed to pre-charge a capacitor before applying a voltage to the main load.
The purpose of this pre-charging process is to:
- Reduce inrush current when the voltage is first applied.
- Protect sensitive components from damage due to high initial current.
- Ensure a smooth and gradual rise in voltage across the capacitor.
The circuit typically consists of a resistor and a switch. When the switch is closed, the resistor charges the capacitor gradually until it reaches the desired voltage level.
