BA10/20/30 Series User's Manual
BA
AMPLIFIER
This configuration is especially important if the BA amplifier is operating at DC bus voltages of 160 VDC or 320 VDC (e.g., 115 VAC or 230 VAC input power).
Figure 2-2.

2.3.2. Fusing and Inrush Limiting

The BA series amplifier does not contain a fuse or any inrush limiting internally. These
can be added externally to the AC input as shown in the figure below:
BA SERIES
THERMISTOR AND FUSING
DUE TO CAPACITIVE NATURE OF AMPLIFIER INPUT CIRCUIT,
CURRENT INRUSH LIMITING IS RECOMMENDED. NEGATIVE
TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT THERMISTORS ARE USED FOR
THIS PURPOSE. THERMISTOR IS TO BE PLACED IN THE AC HI
LINE. ONLY ONE THERMISTOR NEEDED FOR ONE AMP.
ALTERNATELY, 2 THERMISTORS CAN BE USED IN AC HI & LO
FOR MULTIPLE AMPS IN PARALLEL.
