Re: Potter & Brumfield Sensitive Plate Circuit Relays
Thanks Steve. I do not any of the power supply, just the RF deck, but did work it and it pulls in at just under 22vdc -- 73 Nick KC0YKO

Re: Potter & Brumfield Sensitive Plate Circuit Relays
Thanks Chuck. I was clearly over complicating this just because I did not recognize the "plate circuit relay" terminology. You were correct, I rolled the variable power supply up and it pulled in at

Re: Potter & Brumfield Sensitive Plate Circuit Relays
Perhaps that relay was used in that application in an effort to reduce the voltage/current to operate it to low values, such as from a later-model (but older) transceiver with limited T/R relay

Re: Potter & Brumfield Sensitive Plate Circuit Relays
Dear Nick, My GUESS is the P&B magnet is 24 to 28 Vdc. However, if you trace the wiring to the coil, back to the power supply, you may there deduce the coil voltage by energizing the xfmr primaries.

Re: Potter & Brumfield Sensitive Plate Circuit Relays
Years ago the coil of a plate circuit relay was in series with the plate of a vacuum tube set up to conduct at the pull in current when the tube was biased on. Using ohms law, 0.009 A X 2500 ohms =

Potter & Brumfield Sensitive Plate Circuit Relays
All, I have an old homebrew RF deck that the T/R rely is a Potter & Brumfield LM11-2500. I can't find what the coil voltage is. In the 1954 P&B catalog the LM series is titled?Sensitive Plate Circuit

Re: Alpha Amp Group Still Active??
As in any quality-designed-and-built power amplifier, yes, there is a good-sized, large inductor from the output of the pi-network to ground to guard against exactly this kind of failure mode. What

Re: Alpha Amp Group Still Active??
Actually, they read "222M"; so it was clear they were 2200 pF. A 5 kV-rated cap is not likely to withstand 3 kV plate voltage under highly-mismatched circumstances at the legal power limit (such as

Re: Alpha Amp Group Still Active??
Did the caps short and put high voltage on the antenna causing the amp meter to peg? Is there a rf choke at the output connector?

Re: Alpha Amp Group Still Active??
Those oem 220M? caps are each 2200 pf.? ( 6600 pf in total for all 3 of em in parallel). The problem with discs is..... current handling capability.? ?Upper HF will result in the highest RF

Yes, indeed; but my point is that all of this fantastic old amplifier reference material is now on it's way gone... so anybody wishing to personally archive any of it had better get busy saving
