This device is preferable used for applications with transformers or electronic equipment, e.g. Monitors, Computers.
Function:
During the startup of electronic loads (e.g. Monitors, Computers), a high inrush current occurs that is many times higher (up to 15 times as high) than the normal current , which can therefore cause fuses to be blown.
The GEFI-Inrush Current Suppressor Type RRT will prevent this malfunction and extend the life of the device.
When the plugged-in load in the RRT receptacle is switched ON or after power interruption, a built-in resistor will suppress the high inrush current. After a short time delay (approx 0.5s), the contact of a relay in the RRT overrides this resistor and a signal light indicates this status.
Feature:
A preventive safety measure in the RRT is an integrated thermal fuse which will protect the load from the supply voltage if the resistor becomes overheated due to a defective relay or a defect in the RRT electronic circuitry.
