Abstract
A current-limiting circuit for limiting switch-on currents or transients includes a switch, a diode, an inductance, an input with a first connection and second connection, and an output with a first connection and second connection. The second connection of the input is connected via the switch to the junction of an inductance and the anode of a diode and via the inductance to the second connection of the output. The cathode of the diode is connected to the first connection of the input and to the first connection of the output. The switch is preferably an electronic switch controlled to provide clocked current limitation.
