Here is an article from Elektor Magazine's blogs about inrush current protection:
Build an Inrush Current Limiter for AC and DC Loads <https://elektor.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4ecb620f8ed264d1d84aa0981&id=9a05a09095&e=d21c671107> The inrush current, input surge current, or switch-on surge is the maximum instantaneous input current drawn by an electrical device when first turned on. Inrush current is much higher than the load’s steady-state current and can cause all sorts of problems. Blowing the load’s fuse is a common issue as are sparks at the switch contacts, but it can also result in load failure and reducing its lifetime. Here are two proposals to address this problem: one for AC and one DC loads. <https://elektor.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4ecb620f8ed264d1d84aa0981&id=1ecc1c7b68&e=d21c671107> -- Scott G.
