I can get nearly 2.5kW PEP output measured on the VFD (predecessor to the
WX0B PowerMaster) out of my Henry 3K-A with a pair of 3-500ZGs and almost 4kV
on the anodes with 150W+ drive. Do I do that? No, but it's possible with
enough "umph"...
Sorry I asked about the "2kW..." marking on the '220...
The Henry 3KA is rated at 3000watts PEP input. It runs pretty high plate
voltage (more than any other amp I have seen) on 3-500's. It has one great
big
transformer!! I don't doubt it could make at least 2KW out with 150 watts
drive. We've made it routine to swap out the 3-500's for 3CX1200A7 tubes in
that amp and easily makes about 3500 watts output.
Don't be sorry you asked the question.....later Lou
