Hopefully "ahead" was not what you really intended to write, Bill. The
glitch (surge limiting) resistor protects against arcs that happen
DOWNSTREAM toward the tube. The resistor will always help protect the
tube and the RF components against arcs occurring inside the tube or
anywhere in the RF section.
The correct location for the HV fuse and the surge limiting resistor is
directly connected to the top of the capacitor stack, so that it
protects the maximum possible number of components downstream.
REPLY:
Yes, I did mean "ahead" but I'm an electron flow guy, not a conventional
current guy, so I think that's the difference. We agree on everything else.
Also, in my previous post I should have said that while I disagree with
Jim, I'm not saying he is "wrong", just that we have a different
approach to design philosophy. His style will work, as will mine. His
style is faster, mine is cheaper.
