Mains input resistor selection for a small power supply is not easy as conflicting factors are involved. It must survive inrush and transient surges, but also give failsafe fusing in the event of a short-circuit failure. A common choice is a flameproof wirewound in the range 10R to 100R. For certain applications, however, there are further constraints.
In many industrial application areas so-called multiphase flows determine efficiency and safety issues relating to processes and plants.
