soft start module
Soft Start Module for Mains Supply
Fully Automatic Timing Sequence - No more dimming lights or blown fuses!
Operates in line - fully automatically or manually with a low current switch.
Handles up to 1KW.
Includes an on-board mains current breaker / fuse, spark suppression and transient clamping.
Size: 97mm X 72mm Plus, no soldering
Please note:
The primary purpose of this module is to reduce the inrush current to toroidal transformers - especially those followed by a large bank of reservoir capacitors. Blown fuses may result in some circumstances if the mains supply is simply 'hard switched'.
The SSM1 WILL NOT ELIMINATE pops and transient thumps when powering up certain types of amplifier - other means will have to be employed if such problems are being experienced.
