A device inserted between the bridge rectifier and capacitor-input filter that is used to prevent an onrush of current is called
A) a slow-blow fuse.
B) an op amp.
C) a choke.
D) a surge resistor.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A surge resistor is specifically designed to limit the inrush current to a manageable level when power is first applied, protecting components downstream, such as capacitors in a capacitor-input filter, from being damaged by the sudden surge of current.
