Inrush current limiting and load-dump resistor in:
• Smoothing and DC-link capacitor banks
• Power inverters
• Discharge - charge circuits
PTCEL thermistors of similar resistance and size may be
used in series and parallel combinations to obtain higher
energy absorption levels. PTCEL thermistors may not be
used in series connections to obtain higher voltage levels.
DESCRIPTION
These directly heated ceramic-based doped barium titanate
thermistors have a positive temperature coefficient and are
primarily intended for inrush current limiting and overload
protection. They consist of a ceramic pellet soldered
between two tinned CCS wires and coated with a UL 94 V-0
compliant high temperature hard silicone lacquer. The body
is marked with the logo, cold resistance value, EL on one
side and date code on the opposite side.

PACKAGING
PTC thermistors are available in 100 pieces (PTCEL13) or
50 pieces (PTCEL17) bulk packed or tape on reel option
500 pieces on request.

REQUIRED NUMBER OF PTC THERMISTORS TO LIMIT CURRENT AND ABSORB ENERGY
By using several PTC’s in a series / parallel network, the maximum current limitation and absorbed energy levels can be further
optimized. For homogeneous current and energy distribution it is recommended to combine only PTCEL of the same size and
matched resistance value. Energy absorption per PTC in a network depends on current distribution in the network and as such
on the individual PTC resistance value. PTCEL thermistors might be used in a series connection to further lower the inrush
current, but not to increase the maximum allowed voltage levels. Following formula may be used to calculate the minimum
number of PTCEL thermistors required in a DC link or other capacitor bank application to properly charge or discharge a given
amount of energy without follow current:

Notes
• N is the number of PTCEL required in the network
• C is the total capacitor value to charge or discharge in F
• V is the maximum DC voltage on the capacitor C
• C
th
is the thermal capacity of one PTC in [J/K] (see table)
• T
sw
is the minimum switching temperature of the PTCEL (130 °C)
• T
amb
is the maximum ambient temperature at which the PTC needs to operate
• K is the factor that determines the charging operation mode
K = 1 for DC charging or discharging
K = 0.96 for 3-phase rectified charging
K = 0.76 for single phase rectified charging
