Yes of course the beer in the fridge is the most important. > The surge current charging the capacitor is enough to trip the main > breaker in my house fuse box. I a current source like this one but probably with only one diode https://www.google.se/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.st-andrews.ac.uk%2F~www_pa%2FScots_Guide%2Faudio%2Fpart1%2Ffig8.gif&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.st-andrews.ac.uk%2F~www_pa%2FScots_Guide%2Faudio%2Fpart1%2Fpage3.html&docid=XWfLwCKH0X1kXM&tbnid=raqWXyKWt6SvxM%3A&w=481&h=404&bih=887&biw=1280&ved=0ahUKEwjLnOCZuL7MAhXM2SwKHdV3DN0QMwgkKAgwCA&iact=mrc&uact=8 connected to the DC bus should limit the inrush current. It will consume some power so it should at least ideally be disabled by a relay once charged. This kind of circuit is common for low power but you have high power. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Find and fix application performance issues faster with Applications Manager Applications Manager provides deep performance insights into multiple tiers of your business applications.
