Hi Everyone,
I have a small problem with a high turn on /startup current caused by an small AC/DC converter.
I am using an Simple converter to convert 24vac to 12vdc, this is being energized by an irrigation controller.
the problem is, that when the circuit is switched on the controller gives an over current error and shuts down.
the converter only draws .3mA and with the load at full only draws 45mA, so I'm assuming the problem is startup current.
is there a simple way to reduce the startup current the controller is sensing?
i was looking at a thermister but unsure if this is a good solution
the controller can handle up to 500mA
the ACDC converter is rated to 1000mA
thanks for any help
