? no. I used the step-start circuit shown in Figure 1 on my Web site to
step-start a 14kW amplifier. Since this circuit's step-point is
principally determined by the HV filter capacitor, it will work with
virtually any amplifier. As a rule of thumb, the resistance chosen
should limit the mains startup current to <that of the relay contacts.
