Abstract
Procedures for the connection of a very capacitive load to a voltage bus of an electric distribution system, by using a solid state power controller, where the current through the SSPC is controlled actively by maintaining one of its parameters (the current and/or the derivative of the current) constant during the entire connection time of said very capacitive load or during each one of a set of stretches of said connection time. The invention also refers to SSPCs structured to carry out said procedures.

- 13. A procedure for the connection of a capacitive load to a voltage bus of an electric distribution system using a solid state power controller (SSPC), comprising the step of actively controlling a current through the SSPC during an entire connection time until the capacitive load is charged up to a voltage of the voltage bus by maintaining constant a derivative of the current during one or a set of stretches of the connection time until the current reaches a value equal to a maximum value endured by the SSPC and by maintaining constant that value of the current in a final stretch.
