[R-390] Inrush Current Limiters

[Barry]

Does anyone know the failure mode of an Inrush Current Limiter (ICL)?  The reason I ask is where I want to install this one is on the neutral side (it's slightly more convenient); however, if the ICL fails in an open mode, then it could act like a blown fuse and if it's on the neutral side, then the radio would be dead, but there would still be power up to the ICL (same reason it's not a good idea to install a fuse on the neutral side).  If it fails in a closed mode, then it really wouldn't matter.  I'm just trying to decide if I really want to install it on the less convenient hot side or just go with the neutral leg.  Any comments?

Thanks,
