Default 13.8V high current power supply - update

One is that to properly fuse it, you can't have an excessive in-russ, or
you'll need a really big fuse and it might be too big to protect the smoke
hinside.
Another is that you reqally don't want to pound either the diodes or the
filter caps if you don't have to.

Interesting. There are all sorts of protections one can build into PSUs
of course and it's a job to know where to stop with some of them. I'm
just wondering why there's a need to limit this inrush current. What is
it you're seeking to protect here?
