Hi All,
The purpose of a step-start is (mainly) to let the HV caps load smoothly.
The "classical" way to make a step-start is to short the resistor in the HV
transformer primary with a relay switched after a delay made with an RC.
This delay is mostly arbitrary put to 1 or 2 s.
Why not switch this relay with a divider from the HV voltage ? With the
right divider, you ensure that the caps are really loaded and not supposed
to be ?
Just a guess...
73, Patrick.
