Hi All,
So I designed an amp requiring a maximum current of 2.5 Amps. There for I have purchased a toroid transformer rated at 25VA at 7V AC at 3.57 Amps. So I thought the rating of the toroid was reasonable but I noticed that the inrush current charging the rectifier filter capacitors was 5 Amps even though the circuit is only outputting 2.5 Amps at most. The inrush current is only 0.001 second, should I be worried about this?
Thanks,
Kevin
