Re: Inrush filament current protection
For the life of me, I can't figure out why you would need one for each line lead? If the voltage drops, the current rises making the same output power from the transformer. The same amount of power

Re: Can a ..power factor correction cap be used on the input of a Plate Xfmr ??
Jim, I've seen these used, but they were used in smaller DC supplies. I have several books on the subject and will look it up. That value though seems way to much at 35 uF for this. Placed across the

Re: Inrush filament current protection
Garry, That is a great question. I have a couple projects going together RIGHT NOW that had me thinking the same thing. It depends on if you cheat or not. OK what does that mean? 220V wiring is 2 wire

Inrush filament current protection
When running an amp on 240 volts, is it necessary to put a resistor in both sides of the 240 volt line for inrush current protection or would a single resistor of adequate size in one leg do the job?

Re: 3-500Z socket.... max current ratings
All of Jim's points are valid and a good amp designer will take them into account. I would just caution anyone on adding an arbitrary XX% of airflow "just in case". If you are serious about your amp

Can a ..power factor correction cap be used on the input of a Plate Xfmr ??
Gents My buddy tried this... said it worked. He gave me a 32 uf cap to try it myself. It gets installed directly in parallel with the pri of the plate xfmr. [this is for a C input HV supply]. I didn't

If the mfg's marking ink on the glass turns brown, more air is probably a good idea. If the tube blows out of the socket, a smaller blower is in order. cheers, G. R L Measures, AG6K, 805.386.3734
