Looking at a design for a DC valve heater (tube filament) power supply.
An off the shelf switching supply is modified and additional circuitry employed to clean up the supply and add a true soft start function.
There are other circuit arrangements that do similar things, a current limiter is the obvious one. Current limiter circuits come with extra losses however, probably near 3 watts in this application and the soft start does not start from zero volts.
This is a building block for a Valve Power Amplifier.
