the question about resistance was principal and comes from manual for repairing lcd monitors. that`s why i created another thread. i will read everything in this thread later...

Hello,

Inrush limiting will be NTC, not PTC.
You are right:

NTC

When power is applied to a circuit with an NTC, the NTC’s resistance starts off high.
After the inrush current has passed and the converter is running at steady state, the NTC heats up and its resistance drops.

NTC’s limit the inrush current only when they are cold.
When power is turned off and quickly on again, the NTC does not have time to cool down and will not limit the inrush current.

For inrush current limiting, the NTC must be connected in series with the load circuit.
Several limiters can also be connected in series for higher damping.
Inrush current limiters must not be connected in parallel.
