Jan 7, 2022 at 15:23 comment added Neil_UK what are the other constraints? A series resistor to control a precharge, shorted by a resistor is good, but delays startup. A PTC thermistor in series will reduce the surge. For a large load on the supply, diode-capacitor is frowned on these days, you should use a proper power factor corrected supply, which will have its own soft start included.
