So I have this circuit that draws about 7 amps that is powered by a 10 amp DC 13.8V Supply. At startup the load/current draw exceeds the 12amp instantaneous limit and puts the supply in overload protection. Know if I connect different legs of the circuit indivdually it does not surge and cause this overload. This though is unacceptable for my application and I also don't wish to buy another power supply of greater power.
So my question lies in the ability of limitting this surge as in series wiring a current limmiting thermistor on the load, or maybe a RC line suprresor of sorts? Any ideas?
