Abstract: A system for eliminating inrush current to electrical equipment while providing a user increased control is proposed. The user of the device is able to control the speed of the ramp up of alternating current (AC) to the electrical equipment, regardless of the load. When the ramp up meets its full power, the device of the present system will disable itself while allowing power to flow directly to the electrical equipment. The present system allows for user controlled delay time as well as microcontroller controlled current sensing. Further, the device shuts off power to the electrical equipment if an overdraw of current (e.g. a short circuit in an amplifier) is detected. This feature may be an early warning, indicating a need for technical repair before irrevocable damage is done to the components of the electrical equipment.
