Hi All, I recently purchased a Henry 2k-4 with a high-voltage fault. The fault has been traced to the inductor, L201, which is located directly after the bridge rectifier. The value, according to the

Be careful of changing the inductance. I am not real familiar with the Henry amp but you seem to indicate that there is a small capacitor in parallel with the choke that would indicate that it is a t

I also had a choke fail in my 3KA. Gary ( another ham sent you his call) rewound it for me and did a great job. It does need to be the same inductance as Henry did use resonant chokes with a small ca

Forget the tuned choke stuff, that's been shown to be unreliable. If you want a choke input filter, get a 10 henry choke and follow it with a bypass oil cap of at least 8 mfd rated for the B+ with so

A tuned choke is used to enable a smaller choke to be used. A tuned choke filter has much better dynamic regulation than a conventional choke circuit. A conventional choke is undesirable for SSB use.

Jim gives good advice here. A combination of a glitch resistor to limit flashover surge from the filter capacitor, plus an HV fuse close to the tube HV feed, is cheap and important protection. One ad
