Abstract
A disclosed apparatus may protect power supply units (PSUs) from damage by limiting inrush current. For example, an apparatus may include a PSU and a controller. In one example, the PSU may be configured to convert power from an AC input into a DC output and to provide the DC output to a computing device. In this example, the controller may be configured to limit inrush current originating from the AC input by cycling at least one switch included in the PSU until a DC bulk voltage of the PSU reaches a certain threshold. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
