- Pulsed measurements. BTW, if you do the math -> 4000 volts x 400mA = 1600 watts input power. At 70% efficiency, that's ~500 watts plate dissipation, so there's some consistency between the numbers. I

- Indeed. In pulse service they will do more than that. No one claimed that it wouldn't do more, the rub is that it isn't very linear above 420mA avg or 1,25a-pk. From what I've seen, a 3-500 can do c.
