Mean Well ICL-16R AC Inrush Current Limiter 16A
Overview
The ICL-16 is a 16A inrush current limiter that can be used to reduce the high starting current due to capacitive load 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-16.

Test conditions and notes3
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. The ambient temperature derating of 3.5℃/1000m with fanless models and of 5℃/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft).
- 3. The power supply is considered as an independent unit, but the final equipment still need to re-confirm that the whole system complies with the EMC directives. For guidance on how to perform these EMC tests, please refer to “EMI testing of component power supplies.” (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf )

FAQ
What does the Mean Well ICL-16R do?
The Mean Well ICL-16R is an AC inrush current limiter designed to reduce startup current on AC-powered equipment. For this model, inrush current limiting is rated at 23A with 16A continuous operation.
What input voltage is supported by the ICL-16R?
This model is specified for an AC input voltage range of 180 to 264VAC. That makes it suitable for applications operating within that stated mains range.
How is the ICL-16R different from a simple NTC limiter?
The ICL-16R uses an internal relay that bypasses its limiting resistor once the power-on limiting time has passed. The specification lists an internal relay limiting time of 300±50ms and a release time of 500±50ms; the datasheet does not compare it directly with NTC limiters.
What environments can the ICL-16R operate in?
The ICL-16R is rated for a wide working temperature range of -30°C to +70°C. It is also specified for operation at altitudes up to 5000 meters, which can matter in industrial or elevated-location applications.
What are the main electrical ratings of the ICL-16R?
This model is rated for 16A continuous current and 23A inrush current limiting. Its listed AC input power is 3680VA, matching its role in higher-demand AC power applications.
Does the ICL-16R include protection and compliance approvals?
Yes. The specification lists internal thermal protection with a thermal fuse for overload and fire protection, along with LVD BS EN/EN62368-1 approval and EMC compliance including EN55032 Class B.
