    Limiting power inrush on spot welder

    I think you're right. There has to be some build up on the input side prior to activating it. By limiting the power input externally there is no chance for a capacitor to charge, hence the huge inrush when it is activated. I'm thinking about a slightly different approach which is to add a...
