Description:
The linear power supplies normally used in Audio Power amplifiers draw a very large but brief current when they are first turned on. This is due to the use of smaller magnetic cores inside the transformers which results in what is known as high 'inrush' current at power up.
 This large current can eventually damage the bridge rectifier and filter capacitors as well as produce a 'thump' in the speaker. 

This soft start circuit can be installed in the mains supply to an Audio Power Amplifier to address this problem. It will limit the initial current flow by using four robust NTC thermistors in series with the mains supply. 

Features of this Version:
This high quality circuit board is based on the IC chip UPC1237 as the main Output device. This chip controls the operation of two 16 A relays that route the mains supply voltage through a group of 4 NTC thermistors. This limits the initial current flow to the transformer of your Amplifier and thus protects the bridge rectifier / filter capacitors .During the turn-on period when the mains current flows through these thermistors they may heat up a little - this is normal and not an indication of any problems with the circuit. This board does not require high voltage to be carried on the device's front panel for switching purposes. This is because this circuit has been designed to be operated by a Low DC voltage, that can be easily  routed to a Low current type (3A / 5A) latching switch
