Type：ICL AC inrush current limiter（Series：ICL-16R, ICL-16L ,ICL-28R, ICL-28L）
ICL-16R INPUT: 180-264VAC 50/60Hz AC CURRENT: 16A (Continuous)
ICL-16L INPUT: 180-264VAC 50/60Hz AC CURRENT: 16A (Continuous)
ICL-28R INPUT: 180-264VAC 50/60Hz AC CURRENT: 28A (Continuous)
ICL-28L INPUT: 180-264VAC 50/60Hz AC CURRENT: 28A (Continuous)
Introduction
The ICL-R/L is an AC inrush current limiter that can be used to reduce the high starting current due to capacitive
load or inductive causing the circuit breaker to be false triggered. Several power supplies can be installed on the
same AC line after the implementation of an ICL-R/L.
Installation
ICL-R：
（1）Always allow good ventilation clearances, 5mm left and right, 40mm above and 20mm below, around the unit
in use to prevent it from overheating. Also a 10-15 cm clearance must be kept when the adjacent device is a
heat source.
（2）The appropriate mounting orientation for the unit is vertical, the input terminals at the bottom and output on
the top. Mounting orientations other than that, such as upside down, horizontal, or table-top mounting, is not
allowed.
（3）Use copper wire only, and recommended wires are shown as below.

Note：Current each wire carries should be de-rated to 80% of the current suggested above
when using 4-6 wires connected to the unit.
Make sure that all strands of each stranded wire enter the terminal connection and the screw terminals are
securely fixed to prevent poor contact. If the power supply possesses multi-output terminals, please make
sure each contact is connected to wires to prevent too much current stress on a single contact.
（4）Use wires that can withstand temperatures of at least 80°C, such as UL1007.
（5）Recommended wire strapping length is 6mm (0.236”).
（6）Recommended screwdriver is 3mm, slotted type.
（7）The recommended torque setting for terminals is shown as below.

（8）Mounting Instruction：
Mount as shown in figure only, with input terminals down, or else sufficient cooling will not be possible.
Admissible DIN rail：TS35/7.5 or TS35/15
For rail fastening：
（a）Tilt the unit slightly rearwards.
（b）Fit the unit over top hat rail.
（c）Slide it downward until it hits the stop.
（d）Press against the bottom for locking.
（e）Shake the unit slightly to check the locking action.
（9）For other information about the products, please refer to www.meanwell.com for details.
ICL-L：
（1）Before any installation or maintenance work, please disconnect your system from the utility.
Ensure that it can’t be re-connected inadvertently!
（2）Ventilation holes must be kept free from any obstructions. Also a 10-15 cm clearance must be kept when the
adjacent device is a heat source.
（3）The recommended torque setting for terminals is shown as below.

Warning / Caution !!
“CAUTION：FOR USE IN A CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT. REFER TO MANUAL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION”
ATTENTION: A UTILISER DANS UN ENVIRONNEMENT CONTROLE. REFEREZ VOUS AU MANUEL POUR
LES CONDITIONS D’ENVIRONNEMENT.
（1）Risk of electrical shock and energy hazard. All failure should be examined by a qualified technician. Please do
not remove the case of the power supply by yourself!
（2）Risk of electric arcs and electric shock (danger to life). Connecting both the primary and the secondary sides
together is not allowed.
（3）Risk of burn hazard. Do not touch the unit in operation and shortly after disconnection!
（4）Risk of fire and short circuit. The openings should be protected from foreign objects or dripping liquids.
（5）Only install the unit in a pollution degree 2 environment (Note.1).
（6）Please do not install the unit in places with high moisture or near the water.
（7）The maximum operating temperature is 70°C for the ICL-16R/16L and 60°C for the ICL-28R/28L, please do not
install the unit in places with high ambient temperature or near fire source.
（8）Disconnect system from supply voltage:
Before commencing any installation, maintenance or modification work: Disconnect your system from supply
voltage. Make sure that inadvertent connection in circuit will be impossible!
Note.1: Pollution Degree 2 applies where there is only non-conductive pollution that might temporarily become
conductive due to occasional condensation. Generally refer to dry, well-ventilated locations, such as
control cabinets.

Application Manual
The maximum capacitive load and maximum possible rated current limit the number of power supplies that can be
connected. Often, it is the rated currents that represent the decisive factor, because the inrush current limiters can
handle capacitive loads as high as 2500uF/6000uF.
The input capacity of the power supplies is largely determined by primary-side storage capacitors. With MEANWELL,
these capacitors are marked with the position code C5, and their capacitance can be found in the test report on the
MEANWELL's website.
