12 KW CCS on 160-15M.... USING the 3CX-6000A7...... PART 24

Some more progress was made. Paralleled mercury contactors and step start
resistors installed. Modified step start board installed.
Also, a pair of 5AGC fuse holders  plus 3 x small breakers.
Then the large twist lock for aux items, like the 330 cfm squirrel cage
blower for the RF deck etc.

A pair of (black)  250 amp  CCS rated.. 'supercon'  connectors also mounted
(for the 240 vac connection over to the pair of paralleled plate xfmrs,
that reside in a separate cabinet.... each rated at 5300 vac @ 1.5 amp CCS).

The back end of those supercon connectors  use a 1/2" stud.   The mating
plug that goes on the power cable, will handle a max of 250 mcm power
cable.

At the far left is the pair of red 100 amp supercon connectors..... used
for the 79 amp filament xfmr. Those use 5/16" studs on their back ends.
The  mating 100 amp supercon connector that goes on the mating power cable,
will handle a max of 1-0 power cable.

It's getting there, albeit slowly, due to time constraints, etc.  The
previous 20 x 2500 uf lytic assy will be installed in the same cabinet as
the fil xfmr, variac, etc.  That's what the open space on the chassis  will
be used for...along with the HV rectifier assy.
