# Capacitive-load inrush estimate # Scope: Ideal resistor-limited capacitor charging initial current and energy. # Status: illustrative worked example; engineering review pending. # Inputs are example values. Checks are editable example requirements, not standards. voltage = 24 V resistance = 10 ohm capacitance = 1000 uF initialCurrent := voltage/resistance [A] timeConstant := resistance*capacitance [s] energy := capacitance*voltage^2/2 [J] check initial current budget: initialCurrent <= 3 A scenario alternative: voltage = 19.2 V
