Assuming the heating element has a positive temperature coefficient (which seems likely), there will be inrush current greater than the operating current. As an extreme example, a tungsten filament in a lightbulb would rise to 1500C (2700F) which with even a small temperature coefficient can mean inrush current 10x higher than the operating current. |
