[Amps] plate bypass caps

[Steve Flood]

I did not give enough info.  My loading cap is a 2100 pF variable.  In case 
I need to pad that for tuning 160m, I was thinking of a 500pF padder that I 
can switch in.  Running through PI-EL again, it looks like 1 to 2 amps of 
current would go through the padder.

>From: "Jim W7RY" You have to know the value of the cap to know what the 
>current value is. 7 amps at 420 volts for what value of capacitance?
