Abstract
A device and associated method for limiting a current surge in a capacitor connected to the output of a rectifying bridge having its input connected to an a.c. voltage, the bridge being a composite bridge and being associated with means for synchronizing the turning-on of the bridge from zero crossings of the voltage of the a.c. power supply.
