Hey, I'm trying to design an inrush current limiting circuit to limit a 24 volt dc source to 6-7 amps max. I've been working with the following attached circuit, where I have adjusted R2 to be .1 ohm using the equation I(max)=.7/R2.
For some reason though when I try to increase the load on the circuit higher than around 4 amps, it starts to limit the current already and reduces the voltage. Any ideas? Perhaps I need different diodes?
