IVT 18017-S Inrush Current Limiter ASB 12-S Black

Handles up to 12 A resistive loads with a soft start of approximately 1 second, preventing circuit breaker trips and voltage drops when switching on motors, transformers, or LED power supplies.

Overview

The IVT 18017-S Anlaufstrombegrenzung ASB 12-S is a single-phase inrush current limiter designed for 230 V AC networks. It limits the high starting current of inductive and capacitive loads, ensuring a smooth start-up and protecting upstream components. The compact black housing allows for surface mounting via screws, and connection is made through screw terminals accepting up to 2.5 mm² conductors.

What stands out

• Limits inrush current for loads up to 12 A resistive or 6 A inductive
• Soft start duration of approximately 1 second
• Low standby power consumption of less than 0.5 W
• Wide operating temperature range from -20°C to +50°C
• IP20 protection for indoor installations
