I'm finalizing a GS31B 2 meter Amp and have a question concerning the
breakdown voltage capability
of the output tuning and coupling capacitors. The matching network is
Cap coupled using a 1000pF 5KV
coupling cap. The plate voltage is 3300VDC. Power output is estimated to
be around 1200-1300Watts.
Now I know that having the 1000pF cap reduces the breakdown voltage
requirement of the tuning and
coupling caps, but what do they need to be as a minimum plus say a 25%
safety factor?
Thanks
