- Ed-- 1/120 of a secomd is about 2% of the time needed to ramp up a typical HV-PS, so a conventional DC relay stepstart-R is probably a better solution. cheerz On Nov 17, 2004, at 12:41 PM, Ed Stallma

- I think the acquired advantage with the zero crossing is then there isn't a chance the power supply will be turned on at the AC cycle peak. Mark WB8JKR On Wed, 17 Nov 2004 20:03:55 -0500 jeff millar
