I should have probably included that datapoint. However, in bench testing here, I've found that the larger SD series tend to have less of this problem, I think just because the amount of inrush required to trip the overcurrent protection is higher on the higher powered units. Still a concern though.
I also know that modern radios tend to have smaller input capacitors since the regulators are better. This means less inrush. So the SD series is definitely YMMV. But this is also true of any power supply with overcurrent shutdown as opposed to foldback. But... I sure wouldn't consider the SD series in the range where the RSD series operates. In the higher current range, I'd probably test to verify that a full power cycle won't result in the SD tripping, and possibly oversise (i.e. get a 1000W one instead of the 500W one). -forrest On Fri, Jul 12, 2019 at 12:31 AM TJ Trout <t...@voltbb.com> wrote: > Meanwell SD series is widely reported as defective.
