Mean Well - ICL-28R

The Mean Well ICL-28R is a compact inrush current limiter built for power supply systems that need reliable startup protection. When you turn on equipment, a sudden surge of electricity can trip breakers, damage contacts, or shorten component life. This DIN rail-mounted device handles that initial spike smoothly, letting your power supplies and connected gear start up safely every time.

Why You Need an Inrush Current Limiter

Every time a power supply or motor-driven load switches on, it draws a massive burst of current for just a fraction of a second. Without protection, this surge can blow fuses, weld relay contacts, or cause nuisance tripping. The ICL-28R acts like a temporary resistor that limits that initial rush, then quickly cools down and allows full current to flow once the system is running. It keeps your panels clean and your downtime low.

Easy DIN Rail Installation

Installers love this unit because it fits standard 35 mm DIN rails and snaps into place in seconds. No extra brackets or complex wiring are needed. You simply connect the incoming power line to the input terminals and run the output to your power supply or load. Its compact footprint saves valuable panel space, and the clear terminal layout makes field work fast and error-free.

Built for Real-World Power Systems

Mean Well designed the ICL-28R to handle tough job sites and continuous operation. It works reliably across a wide temperature range and resists vibration, dust, and humidity common in electrical rooms and industrial enclosures. The low steady-state resistance means minimal heat buildup during normal operation, so it won’t waste energy or stress nearby components. It’s a set-and-forget part that keeps your power distribution running smoothly.

Simple Specs, Strong Performance

The ICL-28R holds up to 28 amps of continuous current, making it ideal for medium-duty power supply setups. It recovers quickly after each power cycle, ready for the next startup without waiting. The housing is made from flame-retardant material that meets safety standards, and the terminal screws accept standard wire sizes used in the field. If you want dependable startup protection without overcomplicating your design, this limiter delivers exactly what installers need.
