[R-390] Power Supply, Capacitors, and Dead Horses

[Scott, Barry (Clyde B)]

Sometime during the night last night, I happened to think of something relative to the power supply filtering thread.  With a single cap across the rectifier, when power is applied, isn't the current demand on the transformer and rectifier components nearly infinite?  Is this a potential problem?  Should there be some kind of current-limiting resistor (or other component) in series with the cap?

So far, it works okay and I realize this sudden current demand is short, but is this something to be concerned about?

Thanks again,
