I have just no-load tested my homebrew power supply for my 8877 amp. The transformer is rated 2900 volts at 1 amp. I am getting 4200 volts with just bleeder load on it. This is above the maximum rati

Rick: I run my HB 8877 6M amp at 4200 volts, which drops to 3800 volts under load. No problems in several years. Rumors abound regarding fellows who are running 5 KV, and more, on 8877s. 73, Barrie,

An 8877 will hi pot well over 10KV so that standing voltage is no problem. However operating at more than 4KV is asking for problems as many have found out. We get into uncharted territory of instabi

I'm to lazy to do the math that says, 200 volts in 4000 is probably beyond the tolerance of your meter. The '77 will be very happy with what you have, keeping the grid current nice and low. -- This m

Since the 8877 is rated to 3000V in Class C AM service I wouldnt worry about 4200V or so in standby as long as its a known good tube that has been tested at over 3KV. The problem at over 3500V in ope

It will be VERY EASY to drive at this voltage. Probably around 25 watts for 1500 out if its a good tube. I'm thinking of putting a 3 or 4 dB attenuator into the input to get the drive up to around 70

Thanks, guys for all the responses. Consensus is: 4150VDC on the anode will not be a problem - key up, or key down. I have noted all the other precautions mentioned as well. 73, Charles - K5ZK ______

I dont use a suppressor. But I do use the Eimac socket and good shielding. My 8877 is perfectly stable at 4100V. See: http://s900.photobucket.com/albums/ac206/w7ry/8877%20Amplifier/ 73 Jim W7RY Start

I second that! I've been running one @4200, or so, since '85 with no issues. 22 watts in gives me 1500 out. A 3 db pad sure would make it less touchy, when tuning. 73 de Steve, NR4M _________________

You can also put the pad right at the cathode and get the benefit of some NFB. Carl KM1H _______________________________________________ Amps mailing list Amps@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.

Don, Agreed, I have a single 3-500Z on 6m (very good design from QST 1971) but it had a bit too much gain with 3600V on the tube, so I put 3 x 22R 3W MOF resistor in parallel (giving about 7R at 9W)
