Re: Dan's DRSSTC II 1st light tips?

Hi,

In my setup, a 50 ohm 100W resistor has two states. Either it is charging (soft start), or discharging (soft stop), the big buss caps. The resistor is shorted out for full current running:

One may have to stare at that schematic awhile and the function of the charge/discharge switch and the bypassing run stop switch to see the "beauty"...

But the circuit works super good for me and is easy to deal with...

Cheers,

        Terry

Just remember, if you lower it, its going to have to be big to dissipate all
