Hi,

What are the high current connections on the P10 really for?

I have always thought that these are for the components that draw the most power so I put my integrated amp and my subwoofer on them.

I was curious so I checked the manual and found the below:

"
Zones D and E on the Power Plant 10 are marked “HC” for High Current. These zones are identical to Zones A, B, and C in terms of the quality of regenerated, regulated AC output, however also enjoy the benefits of an in-rush limiter. When capacitors or tubes are powered down for extended periods, they drain of their capacitance. Upon powering these devices up, they can demand a lot of current to both turn the unit on and to reintroduce this capacitance. The result in one’s home can, with very high-wattage-draw devices, go so far as to trip the circuit breaker in the residence. An in-rush limiter, such as the one found on Zones D and E of your Power Plant 10, slows the pace of initial AC output. A more gradual rise in output voltage allows the connected device to power up fully while not over-taxing either the P10 nor the mains power.
"

I'm not sure I fully understand what that means :-)

What is a "in-rush limiter"?
What components should be connected to these outputs?
What do you connect to them?

Thanks!
