Problem Agitation – Why Inrush Current Hurts Your Bottom Line

When a motor starts, the instantaneous surge—often 5‑10 × the rated current—creates three costly issues:

  • Equipment wear: Repeated inrush stresses bearings and windings, shortening service life by up to 30 %.
  • Energy penalties: Utility tariffs charge higher rates for peak demand; inrush peaks can add 15‑25 % to monthly electricity bills.
  • Production downtime: Over‑current trips force unscheduled shutdowns, costing manufacturers an average of $12,000 per hour in lost output.

According to the IEC 61800‑9 standard, uncontrolled inrush is a leading cause of premature motor failure in the US industrial sector.
