Hmm, quick query for folks here.

Whats the current surge like on an smps when turned on? I ask as I want to use some kind of fairly subtle switch on my smps powered Fetzilla for turn on and it's only rated at 3A at 240V.

I know a 'normal' cap supply has quite the turn on surge, and I've always overspecced the switch accordingly (and used a thermistor to damp a class-a amps turn on surge) - in this case I have no idea, and no way to measure anything happening that fast.

I also appreciate a soft start module would also be a solution, but there's no space left in there...

Anyone using an smps able to measure the surge out there?
