To my understanding, switch mode power supply (SMPS) units tend to draw in a high current at start up when the capacitors charge up. This inrush current can be significantly more than normal operating current.
Therefore is it safe (or correct) to connect the load to the SMPS unit before its plugged into the mains? or should I wait for a while for things to stabilize and then connect the load? Appreciate your valuable advice.
Thanks in advance.
