Dear Komrades,
I have a Torodial step-down transformer. It's got a 39V - 0 - 39V secondary and is ratted for 6.7Amps. I want to attach a capacitive load to the secondary (after the bridge and current limiting resistor). The initial current in the capacitor exceeds the ratted current of the transformer for the first 3 seconds. Is it appropriate to overload a transformer of this type? Below is the current load on the transformer:
Initial = 8.4A
after 3s = 6.64A
after 5s = 5.653A
after 8s = 4.43A
after 10s = 3.77A
Thanks
