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 of the same size and matched resistance value that are required in a DC link or other capacitor bank application to properly charge or discharge a given amount of energy without follow current: 2 K x C x V N --------------------------------------------------------------- 2 x C x T - T th sw amb 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 is the thermal capacity of one PTC in J/K (see table) th T is the minimum switching temperature of the PTCEL (130 C) sw T is the maximum ambient temperature at which the PTC needs to operate amb 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 RESISTANCE VS.
