Calculation of the number of required PTC elements
Number of required PTC elements (connected in parallel) as function of capacitance and charging
voltage of smoothing or DC link capacitor:
K
K factor
K = 1 for DC source
K = 0.96 for 3-phase bridge rectifier
K = 0.76 for single phase bridge rectifier
Number of required PTC thermistors connected in parallel
Capacitance of smoothing or DC link capacitor in F
Charging voltage of capacitor in V
Heat capacity in J/K

In case of large N values the resulting resistance of the parallel PTC network might be too low for
effective limitation of the charging current. In this case a combination of series and parallel
connected PTC thermistors can be used.
