I need a 4:1 CURRENT BALUN (NOT VOLTAGE BALUN) to avoid that antenna current can flow on the feeder...

In the Antenna Book chapter 26 I can see a current balun but said "balanced to balanced", is it ok???...

A current balun functions perfectly as an un un, provided it is a real current balun.

Some baluns called current baluns are not.

The balun on 26-20B in the 18th Antenna book is marginally OK. It may not work perfectly, and require additional common mode choking on the 50 ohm side.
