Rich tells us how to Ram 300+ A through a 40 A breaker.
Ohm's Law. The calc. peak mains current was c. 300A. The measured result was 1200v- pk into 50-ohms on SSB. ### 1200 V pk equates to 14,396 watts pep output into a 50 ohm load....14,395.65 /.63 =

Re: Fried glitch R...... from an oversized HV fuse
The boards are okay I guess but there is nothing special about the current trips. All they do is sense a voltage drop across a resistor with higher current and trigger an opto-couplers LED with it.

Re: AC HiPot tester question
It sounds to me that Jennings wants things two different ways. First they say don't momentarily test a vacuum cap with DC, but it's okay to put one in service as a DC blocking cap, de-rated or not.

Re: AC HiPot tester question
Are you saying that there is no resonance when two caps are paralleled?, or are you saying that in the amplifiers you built you have never had a problem with such a resonance? I know of a case where
