Foldback current limiting is most likely to be found in a switch-mode power supply when it is a component in a product that is independently certified to meet regional safety standards. [2] The inrush current of an incandescent lamp causes a bench power supply to limit its output current with a foldback current limiter.
The two types of current limiting used are electronic limiting and impedance limiting. The former is common on lab bench power supplies, the latter is common on supplies of less than 3 watts output. A foldback current limiter reduces the output current to much less than the maximum non-fault current.
Foldback may refer to: Foldback (power supply design) , a current-limiting device in power amplifiers Foldback (sound engineering) , a speaker used to direct sound to performers

Current limiting reactor. The main motive of using current limiting reactors is to reduce short-circuit currents so that circuit breakers with lower short circuit breaking capacity can be used. They can also be used to protect other system components from high current levels and to limit the inrush current when starting a large motor. [5]
It is known as a current-limiting diode (CLD) or current-regulating diode (CRD). Internal structure. It consists of an n-channel JFET with the gate shorted to the source, which functions like a two-terminal current limiter (analogous to a voltage-limiting Zener diode). It allows a current through it to rise to a certain value, but not higher.
Once triggered, they depend on the current-limiting circuitry of the power supply or, if that fails, the blowing of the line fuse or tripping the circuit breaker. The name is derived from having the same effect as throwing a crowbar over exposed power supply terminals to short the output.
The peak current in a cyclic voltammogram for an RDE is a plateau like region, governed by the Levich equation. The limiting current is typically much higher than the peak current of a stationary electrode, being that the mass transport of reactants is actively stimulated by the rotating disk, and not just governed by diffusion, as is the case ...
