I've asked a few questions and gotten some great help with a small linear power supply that I am building, and have one more question for the group. Because this is a moderately high current (10 amp) supply and because I need low ripple numbers, I will be using a fair amount of filter capacitance. I'm wondering if it might be a good idea to use a thermistor to limit the inrush current a bit to lower the stress on the transformer, rectifier and the caps themselves.
Is this worth doing?
If so, how do I size it?
Is there a site that would be helpful?
FWIW, this will be a 24 volt, 10 amp supply operating from standard 110 vac.
