As the voltage increases, an inrush of current flows into the uncharged capacitors. Inrush current can also be generated when a capacitive load is switched onto a power rail and must be charged to that voltage level. The amount of inrush current into the capacitors is determined by the slope of the voltage ramp as described in
Charging Capacitors: The capacitors have almost zero impedance when power is applied to them. This creates a short circuit initially when the capacitor is powered up. Therefore, the capacitors draw a large inrush current of about 8 to 10 times the rated current.
This residual flux causes an inrush current when power is applied to energize the device. Charging Capacitors: The capacitors have almost zero impedance when power is applied to them. This creates a short circuit initially when the capacitor is powered up.
Safeguarding against the filter capacitor’s charging period’s initial current inrush flow is crucial for the performance of the device. Temporarily introducing a high resistance between the input power and rectifier can increase the resistance of the powerup, leading to reducing the inrush current.

In order to charge these capacitors, the system will experience some peak current. This peak current is known as Inrush Current. The amount of inrush current experienced set by the amount of capacitance and the speed at which the voltage rises. This can be calculated using the following equation: I INRUSH =C LOAD dV/dt

A discharged or partially charged capacitor appears as a short circuit to the source when the source voltage is higher than the potential of the capacitor. A fully discharged capacitor will take approximately 5 RC time periods to fully charge; during the charging period, instantaneous current can exceed steady-state current by a substantial multiple. Instantaneous current declines to steady-state current as the capacitor reaches full charge. In the case of open circuit, the capacit…
