\(V_{\text{max} }\) as a function of \(t_{c} /t_{\text{load}}\) and \(R_{c}^{\text{EL}} /R\) with a larger initial perturbation \(V_{\text{ini}} = 0.56V_{\text{pl}}\). Black lines show the phase diagram from Fig. 6 and the yellow dashed line is calculated from the cases plotted here. The white dashed line indicates the boundary of ST with this initial condition. A large initial perturbation expands the region for ST. Elastic cases (\(t_{c} = \infty\)) are shown in a right thin panel
