Inrush current limiter

An addition to a circuit load that limits current as a ramp, to protect sensitive components on startup. It probably needs a damn good nMOS and heatsink to work.

Cool :) Back in the day we would use a couple resistors and a contactor relay on 120V applications. Very effective and basically took itself out of the circuit after limiting.

Which probably performs better, yeah. Hopefully this'll do when you only have so much space to work with :)

Ah sweet I've just been using giant ballasts on everything, thanks
