A much simpler solution is a slow-blow (T) fuse in series with the current limiting resistor. This idea has been used by Alpha and others for many years. The fuse rating can be about 25% of the long-

I guess I'll chime in with my limited input. Why not use simple "Inrush Current Limter thermistors ? I use them for my 4-1000A amp and my 7.5Kv power supply. Very simple to install and ver efficient.

If turn on speed isn't a major issue, I like the idea that the maximum surge at turn on doesn't exceed the maximum peak current during normal operation. That means higher value resistors and longer

Hello all. I'm building a 4cx1500b amplifier. This is the first tetrode high power amplifier I've tried to do. I'm using about 300V on the screen and 2500 on the plate. For my power supply I'm using

Nice project, Paul. I built my first tetrode amp a couple of years ago, and I was dubious I could carry it off, but it worked well and was fun. I have website at w8zr.net with photos and schematics.

Plate voltage regulation on a tetrode is not very important, because the screen voltage has a much greater influence on the plate current. 93 uf is quite a lot for the plate supply, imho more than yo

I mentioned the need for a 3 minute delay before turning on plate and screen voltages, but Jim is right -- you CAN turn on plate voltage immediately. Just keep the bias on so the tube is cut off for

I was thinking the step start could be put onto both the screen and the plate voltage transformer. Since the screen dumps into a 1 Henry, it does take some time for that to charge so they both should

Of course I understand that. But I got the impression from the original post that he thought there was some reason to apply plate/screen voltages to the tube slowly. 73, Victor, 4X6GP Rehovot, Israel

Hello Paul, As you will put the step start circuit in the transformer primary, it will limit the transformer inrush current and thus all the voltages provided by the transformer - filament, screen, g
