Abstract

A d.c. control circuit includes a slew-rate limiting circuit interposed between a current sensing device which detects current in a load and a control circuit, for switching on and off a thyristor controlling current through the load. The circuit limits the slew rate to a level in excess of the maximum normal current slew rate through the load.
