Yes that all makes sense to me.
And the max voltage across the 71A is rated at 180vdc so it is pushed for a bit at startup.
So a HV turn on delay circuit would get the heaters 'up to snuff' 1st and then when things are closer to toasty add the HV for far less over voltage during the startup sequence.
Your analysis is very helpful and gives me a solution to try and see what would happen under more 'controlled' conditions.
Thanks for your insights and help with this, now onto the MOAR Experiments stage…
hahahahahahahahahaha
