That is NOT a good thing, because the spike raises the instantaneous voltage on the green wire. That can (and often does) cause destructive failures of interconnected equipment powered from a differe

More thoughts. I have three 425s, two of which are active in my SO2R contesting station. It's not unusual for both fuses to flow due to spikes on the power line. It's also very common for both fuses

Nope! Power line harmonics are the result of current flowing in relatively short pulses at the positive and negative peaks of the 60 Hz cycle to charge the input filter capacitor, which is used in bo

NO! Only the "imperfections" in a transformer are inductive (and capacitive, and resistive). The relatively inductance that we see in the circuit is "leakage inductance" -- and is due to the relative

No, I said exactly the opposite. If it's a capacitor input filter, the current is drawn in pulses and thus has high harmonic content. A choke input filter would reduce that effect. 73, Jim K9YC _____

It's not about money, it's about playing by the rules when your violation of the rules matters to others in the same sandbox. 10kW is 8.2 dB more than the legal limit in the US, which means you have

The Ten Tec Hercules II is hard to beat. Runs on 13.8V right out of the box. A very nice amp. They typically go used in the $800 - $1,000 range. Needs 30-40 watts to get rated power, about 550 watts.

The FCC limits gain of commercially manufactured amps; I think I remember that the number is 14 or 15 dB. If that's correct, and it's certainly close, 10W could get you something like 200-250W and st
