Limit inrush current to capacitor bank
My goal is to drive a beefy solenoid (1.6 Ohm / 1.5 mH / 50ms actuation time, once every 1-2 seconds) from a 36mF (3x12mF in parallel) capacitor bank at 24V, charged …
Bulk Capacitance inrush current limiting solutions
Usually in DC input motor controllers a relay is placed in series with the power supply ( Vbat+) a resistor is connected in parallel with it. This resistor is said to be a precharge resistor for the bulk capacitance (ex: 4700uF at 48v ).
