Great video these things have always been confusing to me. You have the unique ability to take things that are complicated and make it simple and easy to understand. If only my other electronics teachers had this ability.
That's neat that your self taught. That's how I learned, and your right, if your fascinated in electronics as I was and am its much easier to learn. When I was younger I found the navy's electronic training course book and read it like it was lord of the rings or something lol . My fascination is really with rf but its all good ..peace
PPTC's are quicker to cut the load, but slower to react. PPTC's react like a cliff, while a PTC will react like a slope. The PTC will be quicker to start limiting the current, but the PPTC will be quicker to cut the current to effectively zero. In this case, slow and steady does not win the race ;) However, in many cases, the PTC is safer as it will spend less time delivering too much current compared to the PPTC... so you have a tough decision to make. It really comes down to the continuous resistance spec for your specific load needs.
Do you have a good and easy way to recognize the difference between P/NTC circuits and ceramic caps? sometimes they look really close specially the ones that are really high end and expensive ones..
I recently tried wiring a NTC in series with my fridge compressor in an attemp to limit inrush current on start. I measured the regular inrush current of the compressor, it was about 50A @ 127Vac. I wired a single 10Ohm NTC in series, and expected the inrush to drop about 5 times, following Ohm's Law (127Vac/10Ohm = 12.7A). However, the results were quite unexpected haha. The inrush current still measured around 48A @ 127Vac, a negligible drop, futhermore, for my surprise, the NTC literally exploded on start LOL. Somehow it still managed to keep functioning after the inrush. Steady state current is about 2A, way less than NTC max. steady current specified on datasheet of 5A.
Question, can a ptc be over loaded and burn out? If I have a 10A (12v) ptc, between 12v Battery and super capacitor. When capacitor is empty (2v or so) and I make a parallel connection from battery to capacitor, the inrush current is approx 100amps. Will the ptc isolate it upon connection? Or will the rush be too fast and overload and burn out the ptc?

is it possible to create your own circuit that will limit the current without using these devices? i just hate to spend more money buying those ptc fuse ...its just rubbish that we have to spend money to buy it...
Thanks for the information ! I got a 12v dc motor with output power: 3.4 watts rated speed : 170 rpm rated current: 0.9A ISo for my case in order to prevent the current increase more than 0.9a when the load of motor increase,i just buy a ptc and it will solve the problem? Thanks a lot in advanced .
You can use a PTC, but I would just buy a PPTC(polyswitch). You can look at a chart and choose exactly what you need. Just make sure the operating current is what you need. Ebay sells them cheap.
I couldn't get the mechanism of thermal taped PTC on battery systems. If I'm not wrong, it rearranges the charging current on rechargeable batteries. But I have an old non rechargeable battery pack here and it has 2 serial soldered PTCs. They are thermal taped as you said. Btw the pack is really old maybe from 1980s, it has not any circuits on it, just wires and 2 thermal taped PTCs.
Any chance you can recommend a 2 amperes 2 Amperes PTC Inrush Current Limiter?? I have been trying to find one but every where I look they only have NTC... which is the opposite that what I really need..???
i think from ur video the ne used in CFL circuit on the tube filament terminals are NTC whcich allow the filament of of cfl get safe start,,am i right ????...s i found some of the CFLS where they hav labels like 75L, HL PR1 , SP MZ6 theristors n searched a lot about what they ment what is thier voltage temp limits bout couldnt find any so can u plz explain about it or sent me some link ...kindly waiting for reply,,,and do u know why old CFLs only hav those stuffs but not on new ones?? and what is the requited capacity of thermistors for CFLS
Good video. I am thinking about getting an NTC thermistor and connect it in series with my cars radiator fan. Every time the fan kicks in, there is a sudden high draw of current that drops the voltage for the rest of the car for a second. Once the fan speeds up, the current draw is less and everything is back to normal. If I connect one of these in series to the fan motor, I'm hoping it will slowly increase the current going to the fan and allow the alternator time to compensate for it. Do you think this will work?
Yes. My mistake. I mean in series! Thanks for pointing that out. I'll correct it. I don't think connecting it an parallel would have been a very good idea :D The fan might work for a second or two, but would then be shunted by the thermistor blowing a fuse!
A faulty regulator seems more likely to be the issue. I imagine a bad ground would cause a higher resistance, thus drawing less current. I think the thermistor in series with the fan may still be a good idea though. At the very least it would give the motor a softer, less sudden start. I don't know how many amps a fan motor would typically draw though. I imagine it's taking about 10A on startup, and perhaps three or four running full speed. I'm sure I'll figure something out though. Heck if I can design a circuit to convert separate amber turn signals into combined red US style turn signals I'm sure I can manage it hehe. I'll get a few NTC thermistors to mess around with. At the very least it's something new to add to my electronics kit.
another great video, very good information, I didn't know that they existed, great little device. I have a question, the situation is a large air conditioner comes on and the inrush current is so high it blows out the UPS and then the server. any idea what kind of device I could use in this situation thanks mk.
Since you are using that much current, use a PPTC(Poly Switch resettable fuse). Many different voltages and current ratings available. Looks for one with a trip current of 35A. Thanks For Watching.
Hey long time fan of your videos, this one actually came up in my research. Do you know if this is ok to do for an air conditioning window unit? The unit pulls 19 amps inrush and 630 watts (measured) while running. When it kicks on my lights dim and my computer's UPS clicks on then off lol so it is annoying. Thanks I was thinking if I can use one of these to get the window inrush maybe only 10 amps instead of 19 it would greatly help it.
@@electronicsNmore it is a small 120v submerged pump, it pulls like 7 amps peak, I want to be easy as possible on my inverter, I'm looking into a soft start, I found a chinease board bun unsure, it looks to have a relay on it also, maybe it latches the relay after voltage rises?? thanks, for all the great videos!
@@electronicsNmore I think it's a universal motor, like in a 120v drill, its a cheap pump, just over $120 or so, I have heard ppl running some off DC, but may not be the same pump..
Wow man, For years I have been saving "What I thought to be a ceramic capacitors" would you please share the best way to know when is a cap or when is a PTC?? or NTC?? Thanks in advance.
Measure the cold resistance with a multimeter. If you can measure above 10Ohms its an NTC, if on the other hand it reads nearly zero its a PTC. Although the circuit where they are can give you a hint.
hey.. I need your help Brother... I have a dc motor.. Which has very thick windings so low resistance... Due to that inrush current is very high and my supply is 3.3amps...19.5v.....The motor jerks... Crazy untill it chacha some speed...NOW HOW TO USE ntg Or pta to overcome such problem
I hv question please help me. If there are 3 R namely potentiometer,thermistor,and resistor( it hs been arranged like that) and that circuit is series. What happen with the voltage potential passing thermistor if thermistor get hot ?
hello thankyou for your video, I have noticed that some PTC's (used for a degauss coil in a tv/monitor) sometimes have 2 legs but also sometimes have 3 legs. what is the 3rd leg for?
It is there any chance to use this kind of circuit to power a" Commonly open side of a relay!! and when the power come up turn on a fan for temperature control and engine...or something of that kind?? Thanks in advance.
I do not understand what your looking to do. I have temperature control circuits in my video playlists. I suggest you check them out. Thanks for watching!
electronicsNmore yup! I found your video showing how to use the temperature cut out switch... Thank you very much. your comment is greatly appreciated.
in a real life scenario, aprox. how fast will let's say a NTC 5d-20 change from initial resistance to final resistance with 2A as final current in a current limiter configuration? Seconds, milliseconds? Minutes?
I'd say a few seconds based on the lower level of current. I have many great videos on my channel that cover a wide range of subjects, so be sure to look over my extensive video playlists for other videos of interest to you, and most importantly share my channel with many others.Thanks for watching Guillermo!
Hi, quick question. It might be a stupid question, but is there a difference between NTCs with leads that are straight vs leads with a kink? Does the kink serve any purpose? Thanks in advance.
Question on the PTC, does that thermistor keep drawing a load while it's hot and opening the circuit or does it simply cut the flow of electrons while it's hot?
+arumugam samy Battery packs use a thermistor. A thermistor's resistance value changes when the external temperatures rises or falls. A NTC/PTC inrush limiter relies on current flowing through the component to changer the resistance.

You kept referencing the PTC as an NTC. NTCs get more resistive as the warm, whereas PTCs get less resistive as they warm.
With NTC thermistors, resistance decreases as
temperature rises. An NTC is commonly used as a temperature sensor, or
in series with a circuit as an inrush current limiter.With PTC thermistors, resistance increases as temperature rises. PTC thermistors are commonly installed in series with a circuit, and used to protect against overcurrent conditions, as resettable fuses.
Is there a way to limit ac inrush current without generating heat?
You can use an inductor for inrush limiting. :-)
No
