*1. A delay circuit that charges a capacitor is used to limit the inrush current. If a hot start is performed when the power
       supply has been OFF only a short period of time, the capacitor will still be charged and the inrush current specified
       above will be exceeded by up to approximately five times the specified value. When selecting fuses or breakers for
       external circuits, allow sufficient margin in the melting temperatures, detection characteristics, and inrush current
