Subject: Power Supply Crowbar

From: "djbrow54" <davebr@...>

I am running a single HAA15-0.8-A power supply in my middle cabinet
connected to two MOTM-960 distributions boards, one on each side. I
have been having problems with the power supply current limiting on
power up. My total load on this supply is 480 mA nearly balanced on
both +/- 15 volts.

What have others done to deal with this? I've moved some modules
around trying to change the loading but it never really fixes it.

I've been thinking of adding a small sequencer to enable one of the
960 distribution boards after a small delay.

Would some bulk inductance in series help?

Thanks in advance. - Dave
