Wikipedia
inrush
Inrush current, input surge current, or switch-on surge is the maximal instantaneous input current drawn by an electrical device when first turned on. Alternating-current electric motors and transformers may draw several times their normal full-load current when first energized, for a few cycles of the input waveform. Power converters also often have inrush currents much higher than their steady-state currents, due to the charging current of the input capacitance. The selection of over-current-protection devices such as fuses and circuit breakers is made more complicated when high inrush currents must be tolerated. The over-current protection must react quickly to overload or short-circuit faults but must not interrupt the circuit when the (usually harmless) inrush current flows.

inrush
Inrush generally refers to the maximum, instantaneous input current drawn by an electrical device when it is first turned on. This sudden surge of current can cause damage or initiate an unintended reaction in other connected devices if not correctly managed or controlled. It is commonly seen in power transformers or motors.
