Solutions for Current Protection
To limit inrush current, an NTC thermistor is placed between the power supply and system (see Fig. 1). Upon power on, the NTC thermistor provides high resistance to limit inrush current.

Types of Current LimitingBasic Constant Current Limiting CircuitTwo Transistor Linear Power Supply Regulator with Current LimitingTransistor Foldback Current Limited CircuitThere are a number of circuits that can be used for constant current limiting for power supply protection, but one of the simplest circuits uses just three electronic components: two diodes and a resistor. The circuit for the power supply current limiter uses a sense resistor placed in series with the emitter of the output pass transistor. Two diod...See more on electronics-notes
