I'm not quite following this, Bryan. Unless I've dropped a factor somewhere (always a possibility!) or misunderstood the circuit (also a possibility), a .02uF capacitance charged to 120V has a stored

A .02 uF capacitor discharging through a 33 ohm resistor has a time constant of less than a microsecond. That isn't long enough to arrest any sparking that results from the stored charge on the capac

Out of curiousity, I bought several 900 mA/5 KV fuses from an eBay Chinese supplier. They arrived today. They fit fine into 3AG fuse clips, but are about 50% longer. Internally they have a spring con

It didn't sound right to me either, Bill. The seller provided no data sheets other then claiming a 900 mA/5kV rating for the fuses. I think they were intended for microwave ovens, but am not sure. As

Is the gigavac GH1 the clone of the Jennings RJ1a or kilovac HC1? if so, either of those would be an acceptable and possibly superior substitute. The bigger question is why you have had to replace th

Interesting discussion, re vacuum relay failure modes. I've zapped two RJ-1a relays over the years, but both times it was my fault. The first time was in the 1980s, when I used one as an HV interrupt

Very interesting experiment with the RF-1D, Larry. I may try the same life test with an RJ1a to see how it holds up. Incidentally, I did test an RF 1D earlier this year and found it to be surprisingl

Jim, You've asked a very reasonable question. In many cases, when one is certain RF will not arrive at the input of an amplifier until the amplifier is ready to receive it, then relay sequencing is g
