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

Bob, Who is asking for any retractions? I didn't say to wire anything a certain way, just pointed out the constraints I face and the considerations given when we wire up something under the NEC code

Jim -- Do you design your amplifiers for A0 or for SSB? Wouldn't a 900-pounder be better?

#### The above was a joke. IMO ur 100' length [200' loop] of 4 ga wire is WAY too small for a 4x10. 4 ga wire isn't even rated to handle 110 A.....never mind the 4-6 x that current.... every 8.3

Re: AC HiPot tester question
Since I prefer single capacitors as a blocker, I always use Draloric or Rosenthal caps, they are available at all kind of capacities and voltages. The are also very nice caps from Russia on the market
