[Amps] Step start

It does not matter for the HV caps how fast they are loaded.
The reason for a step-start circuit is to limit the supply current to a
value below that of a typical household circuit breaker.
As long the step-start resistor is in circuit the HV cap will never reach
full voltage.

The purpose of a step-start is (mainly) to let the HV caps load smoothly.
