I have an Ameritron AL-80A which makes the loud CLUNK sound when the power switch is engaged. I assume that step-start/current inrush protection would prevent this. My questions for the list: 1. What

I would think the clunk is the inrush relay kicking out after the initial time delay. 73, Jon KE9NA -- Jon Ogden KE9NA http://www.qsl.net/ke9na "A life lived in fear is a life half lived." -- FAQ on

Huh...there is no inrush relay in the AL-80. As Bill said, I doubt if it is causing any damage; after all that amp has been around many years. The clunk is the xfmr. The simple relay and resistor wor

AC coil relays tend to buzz. The circuit shown in Figure 1 at: www.vcnet.com/measures is simple, uses a pair of inrush resistors so that it works on 120v and 240v, and can be powered by the AL-80's

You might consider using current limiting resistors with a higher resistance and power rating, especially where you have a separate HV transformer. If there is a fault which draws high primary curren

The resistors w-rating is chosen according to the size of the amplifier. 25 ohmers limit the inrush current to roughly less than 8A. That is the idea. The resistors act as fuses in the event of a ma

The problem I was thinking of was when you get a trouble in the transformer or bridge or HV caps; then the mains limiting resistors don't get switched out. I guess you can't mistake the fault indicat

If a circuit fault blows the mains fuses, replacing the fuses will not fix the fault, and will result in blowing yet another pair of fuses. If there is a circuit fault, the fix is going to require p

I'm not familiar with commercial equipment. Even allowing for dealer rip-off, that must be one heck of a fuse. with Sorry, we've been at cross purposes. My original point was thinking of where the re
