Re: Equipment Interconnect cables
I have used RG8X for years without a problem. They are all short and losses immeasurable. The cables out to my antennas from the shack are all RG8 or something like that. Mine have handled 1500 watts

Equipment Interconnect cables
Hello, In HF service, when running interconnect coax cables from an amplifier outbound, I have always used RG-213 or equivalent from the amp to whatever accessories I was using at the time such as a

Dentron Clipperton L
Hello, I currently have a Dentron clipperton L that I have been tinkering with and I know that some of the last models had a tuned input that came with the amp. I¡¯m looking for a manual/schematic

Re: TenTec Centurion HV arc to ground
If you have any teflon sleeving, put an inch length over the wire where it goes through the grommet. If you only have teflon sheet, cut an inch square and wrap it around the wire through the grommet.

Re: TenTec Centurion HV arc to ground
Thanks for the kind offer, Tom. A trusted friend and amp builder suggested a simpler fix..toss the feed through & replace it with a rubber grommet, solder the wire directly to the glitch resistor.

Re: TenTec Centurion HV arc to ground
Thanks Jim, I agree with your assessment. I replaced the feed through with a rubber grommet and soldered the HV wire directly to the glitch resistor. That seems to work fine business. Thanks, Robin

Re: My 2K-4
In Kentucky, the Electrical Code (as applied) specifies the last (or first) cabinet or bay wherein the Neutral and Ground both appear prior to the entranceway or distribution panel, be bonded. While I

Re: TenTec Centurion HV arc to ground
That's caused by....'surface creep'..... which will also depend on any dust/gunk / fluff sitting on the insulator.? ?The insulator can be cleaned up. The easy fix is to put a small piece of plastic

Re: TenTec Centurion HV arc to ground
That pointy end of the wire probably doesn't help. The ceramic feedthru from a Heathkit SB220 would probably work. Never seen one arc.

Re: TenTec Centurion HV arc to ground
This reminds me of my automotive days. Anything, I mean anything not right with the ceramic insulator on a spark plug will cause a misfire. Same thing is possible here. Bob W4JFA [email protected]>

Re: TenTec Centurion HV arc to ground
Robin- I may have a longer ceramic insulator that would fit your needs. Tell me how long it should be and I will check the junk box. Tom K0SN [email protected]> wrote:

Re: TenTec Centurion HV arc to ground
Yes, these are the notions I've had about the remedy; maybe make an insulator from a solid rod of fiberglass or Teflon with a recess in one end to surround the bolt/nut/solder lug. Thanks Eric!

Re: TenTec Centurion HV arc to ground
I can't tell if the break-down happened because of a defect in the insulator, or if corona from a sharp edge degraded the insulator. Either way, the insulator should be replaced as it will be

Re: TenTec Centurion HV arc to ground
Not sure about country of origin, but the tubes were acquired from Command Technologies. I don't know what the tubes would have to do with it...the arc is prior to the tubes in the circuit. Thanks,
