Light Bulb Current Limiter : 9 Steps (with Pictures) - Instructables
网页This project is to make a Light Bulb Current Limiter used to test electronic devices powered by line voltage. I am formerly an electronics technician where I used one of these on a daily basis to help troubleshoot electronic circuits.
Light bulb as limit, to what is current limited to?
网页2022年11月7日 · A filament lamp makes an excellent current limiter, for some applications, precisely because of its non-linear resistance, which is typically 10x its cold resistance when it's hot. If the lamp is rated at, for instance, 150 W at 220 V, it will pass 150/220 = 682 mA when hot, having a resistance of 220/0.682 = 323 ohms.
A Simpler Current Limiter | Nuts & Volts Magazine
网页There are certain instances when current must be limited into a circuit regardless of voltage variations. While there are several approaches to limiting the supply of current using active circuitry, there is a much simpler approach using passive components; specifically, light …

Adjustable Electronic Load Using Incandescent Lamps
网页In-rush current limiter — One drawback of incandescent lamps is that their resistance when cold is much lower than in “normal” operation (a factor of 10 times is often mentioned as a rule of thumb). This low ‘cold resistance’ results in a current spike (overshoot) when you first connect the load to a supply under test.
On using a light bulb as a current limiter (and crude current meter ...
网页2011年7月30日 · When a 60-watt light bulb is connected directly to mains, it will draw approximately 60-watts of power, or 500 milliamps at 120-volts. That is the maximum amount of power that it will permit to flow, and it will burn at full brightness.
