Abstract
© 2019 IEEE.Inrush current happen when an electronic device is turned on. The magnitude of inrush current can be very high and occur in a short time. If some electronic devices are turned on at the same time there will be a high amount of inrush current which will make MCB trip. To circumvent that case, the sequential method is proposed. The proposed idea is to make some devices that will turn on the electronic devices one by one sequentially so there will be no accumulation of inrush current. The device will control the electronic device to turn on after several seconds. This paper will describe how the implementation, the result and further development of the proposed method.
