Conclusion

AC switches are widely used to drive inductive loads. With inductive loads, triggering

synchronization with line voltage has a high impact on the inrush peak current and needs to

be controlled to minimize the first peak current and reduce the maximum junction

temperature.

Peak-voltage triggering or soft start solution allows inrush current reduction and the

maximum junction temperature to be considerably reduced.
