A power entry module/switch(which requires a fuse) will power this power supply. The power flow order is as follows:
Fused power entry module/switch --> Wires --> Power supply
I know that a fuse is used for wires but in this case I have a 3A fuse needed for the power entry module with these curves.
As you see from the supply datasheet, the nominal power supply input current is 1.6A, but the power supply inrush current is given as 45A.
I have the 3A fuse so it must be fine for 1.6A. But the supply also has inrush current 45A. So can this fuse handle 45A?
(Supply datasheet doesn't provide the duration of inrush currents)
