Re: [Amps] Step Start And Transformer Surge Current

[Peter Chadwick <g3rzp@g3rzp.wanadoo.co.uk>]

Surely one advantage of step start, regardless of transformer type, is that you 
reduce the surge charging current into the filter capacitors? Presumably, with 
choke input and a suitable transformer magnetic design, you can get away 
without, although personally, the minuscule cost of step start is such that it 
seems to me to be worth including whatever sort of transformer/choke 
input/capacitor input combination you are using.
