I heard that the HID Units have a high ‘Inrush’ current at initial power-up. How much is it?
This is true. The inrush is very short-lived, in the milliseconds range, but can peak between 20-25 Amps. The only issues with this have been when being used with some of the ‘all in one’ power panels and with Flashers not designed for HID. Contact your supplier and they can address this if it is an issue. Otherwise, the ramp is so short that it does not affect normal breakers.
