choosing a bleed resistor

[A_Camera]

Hi A camera

I thought that might be a problem and bought one of these

I assume that should do the job, although I would like to build a power surge reducer into the case to be a bit more self contained, if anyone has a straight forward circuit diagram for such a device i would like to see it. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Here is a simple circuit which will limit the current during about 1.5s which should be enough.

Even the one from Conrad which you linked will work, but it is limiting between 0.4-1s only. The circuit needed is pretty simple, but of course, if it is a commercial product then it has a price. Never the less, well worth investing in it. I have one built in my PSU, but an external one works just as well.
