I have a BTI LK-2000 using a 3-1000Z operating on 160. I can get 1250 watts out with 2700 volts and 750 ma key down. The tube seems to be limited in current draw. I have seen more power out at a diff
It's most likely the greater plate voltage causing the higher output, not the .04V of fil V. I run my 3-500s at ~4.9 V with almost 4000V on the plates and I get 2kW+ with 110W drive. I wouldn't fool
With the 2700v/750ma you are getting almost 62% efficiency not counting feed through power. That is right in the ballpark of what would be expected. A lot of linear amps are not this good! How did th
Your meter calibration is probably off that far unless you have a very good one. 73 Gary K4FMX _______________________________________________ Amps mailing list Amps@contesting.com http://lists.conte
0.007 percent out of spec. Measured on what? When was your instrument calibrated last time? 73 SM2EKM -- _______________________________________________ Amps mailing list Amps@contesting.com http://l
Well if the anode voltage is higher, you will expect that, even if you had the best stabilised heater supply in the world. I doubt it the filament voltage, but the plate voltage that is changing your
Possibly, but 7.08v is definitely low for a 7.5v filament. Richard L. Measures, AG6K, 805.386.3734. www.somis.org _______________________________________________ Amps mailing list Amps@contesting.com
take a 220v line measurement twice a day for a week and record at peak demand and low demand periods...look at max and min...may surprise you..definitely do not want to go high on the filament voltag

Hello Dennis.. I´m not sure you´re getting actual answers to your questions on here so far. Yes, excessively low filament voltage will result in low power output. It´s not particula

A plate voltage of 2700V is a bit low to make any serious power with a 3-1000Z. 3500V is a better place for it to run. Maybe try the 208 VAC tap? Sincerely, Dr. William J. Schmidt, II K9HZ Trustee of
