[BULK] - Re: [Amps] Applying HV during Warmup

[Jim Isbell]

Maybe this is a GOOD argument for the Mercury Vapor rectifiers in the 
PS.  You have to wait at least a minute, I will use 2 minutes, before 
applying the HVAC to the rectifiers.  This would guarantee that the HV 
wasnt applied anywhere for at least the time delay you used on the 
rectifiers.

>Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the HV come up almost instantly after the amp is turned on?  I use GLASS tubes, so I'm not an expert on these fancy ceramics, but I think the delay circuit keeps the amp from being keyed so it can't be driven until the timer expires.  Or is the HV off until the timer expires, too??  That's why I like my graphite 3-500Zs -- 4KV @ 1A with nearly instant warmup and easy 2kW output.  And less than $300 for two...
