Inrush limiter relay issue

[catalin gramada]

Hello. I tried to do a limiter current circuit at start up for my 800va transformer. I get severe spark at contacts and asking for a solution to cure it please. Thank You. Circuit below:

The circuit you show is not a inrush-currant limiter .
Please look at the forum e.g. solid state to find a adequate circuit
You will find tons of that . For a 800VA -X-former a limiter is a must!
I would prefer a circuit with a resistor of ca. 50 Ohms with the delayed
relais.

connect the relay coil to the "C" of an "R-C" cct across one of the psu rails, this will give you the delayed turn on.
