You have a pretty good point Jim, It appears that this could be a pretty simple solution to a problem,? but only if it is actually "the problem" but I'm not seeing where "soft" start solves it. An

Your last paragraph brings to mind all the issues we encountered at the railroad when we began to try to improve on the original systems in our older equipment. We were doing in house overhauls and

Hi Don, I've used a soft start module for a heavy duty power supply but not for my HT37 which is one of my retirement projects. I've bought these modules off ebay but they are designed for 220VAC to

Jim I agree , but I know one absentminded driver that often does not know to ¡°slow down¡± before turning. Maybe if they had put a HEFTY detent between STANDBY and OFF it would not happen so

Why not just turn the switch, per the caution in the?HT-37?instruction manual, and avoid the problem?? If soft start and inrush were indeed a problem either one would have been addressed eons

Hi all, What about combining a zero crossing switch with a soft start circuit giving a lower input voltage to the transformer for a handful of cycles before switching to fill
