[time-nuts] Maser 0.7 nsec jumps solved

[EWKehren at aol.com]

I like to disagree. In the late 90's I started to work on high efficiency  
boat air conditioners for my boat, written up in Power and Motor Yacht 
"COOL"  January 2003. To reduce inverter load and eliminate the power of the 
relays I  went to zero crossing opto couplers and triacs. Used it also on home 
AC systems  in some places eliminating lamp flicker on poorly supplied homes.

If the  load being switched on is inductive, it would be better to switch
the AC  waveform at the voltage peaks, not at 0V.  This might  seem
counter-intuitive, but it's real.  Switching on at the 0V  crossing may
maximize the current pulse through the magnetics.

OTOH,  if the origin of the impulse is mechanical in nature, neither remedy
may  help.
