At work we had to changed out 12 volt regulators with another 12 volt regulator because of a IN RUSH current problem
I don't understand what's the difference between IN RUSH current and a LOAD , because the current goes up and the voltage goes down
If you load the regulator to much the current goes up and the voltage goes down
If the IN RUSH current it high on the output of the regulator the voltage goes down
So the IN RUSH current is loading the regulator? but how is it different than a LOAD?
It's a 12 volt regulator at 1 amp, they switched it with a different company that is the same 12 volt at 1 amp, my manager said that the internally the regulator must of had a bad feedback loop internally because the regulator was current limiting and not the new one which is rated the same voltage and current output
What is it internally in the regulator that can cause current limiting? both regulators have the same voltage and current output but one current limits and drops the voltage in half
It goes from 12 volts to 6 volts as more current is draw by the regulator
