INSTRUCTION MANUAL
TFR1 : 10Ω - 100Ω
By connecting thermal fuse resistor across R and +BC terminals as shown in Fig. 5-1, in-rush current
during line throw-in can be suppressed. Failures due to in-rush current such as melting of external fuse,
welding of relay or switch connecting joints or shutdown of No-Fuse Breakers (NFB) can occur. Therefore,
be sure to connect this external thermal fuse resistor of 10Ω or more.
The allowable resistance value is limited by the external bulk capacitance value of shown in fig.5-4.
Note that power supply will not operate if this external resistor is. not connected.
