Re: [Amps] HV Diodes

["Carl" <km1h@jeremy.qozzy.com>]

For the same reason I dont need a 600hp car on the local streets.....I cant 
use that power.
If a 1500-2500W amp cant handle a 400A surge then the fuse better blow 
before the transformer.
The only place I use the 6A10 are on the Alpha 77SX conversion with the 
outboard transformer and a LK-800 conversion to 3CPX tubes and a 3200VDC 
under load transformer.
