I designed this
amp (back in 2007) for a buddy, who is now SK. Current owner
is in MT. It uses a custom 253 lb Dahl plate xfmr and 24 x
3900uf lytics. Vac relays used for the input + cut off bias.
Paralleled Jennings RJ2B's used for the output. We tested the
manually tuned, tuned input with a 800 watt CCS cxr for 10
mins, on each band. Input swr is dead flat across all bands.
Triple wafer model 85 switch used for the 12 kw PI net.
Multronics MI-14 1/2" tubing coil used for 160-80-60-40-30m. HB 1/2 tubing
coil used for 20-17-15-12m. This is a 9 band amp. 1000 pf @ 15
kv jennings tune cap. 3000 pf @ 5 kv jennings load cap. Bias
is adjustable, on the fly with a 20 position rotary switch.
Dual line section bird, with 25 kw forward slug and 1 kw
reverse slug. Pep board also installed. Kicks offline if
reflected power too high. 10 kw out with 500w of drive. 12 kw
with 600 watts of drive. 7-16 DIN output connector. I also
have a spare, nib blower, on my shelf. 253 lb dal xfmr has pri
taps at 198-208-218 vac....and also 230-240-250 vac. Sec taps
at 2300, 2900, 3900, 4600, 5000, 5400 vac. ( single phase 60
hz). 3 x 300 amp contactors used on the 240 vac input. One per
each leg..and the 3rd one used for the step start. Separate
step start and variac used for the fil xfmr. There is only
5600 hrs on the hour meter. You need 200 amp service...and
also a 100 amp breaker installed in the main 200 amp
panel...and a min of 3 ga copper wire from main panel to amp.
