Dear Stefan, LF Group, So what do you suggest? Using the caps in series to bring down the voltage per cap or switching smaller values in parallel? Well, The first priority is to ensure that the AC br

Hi Alan, Yes i know, but these caps perform very well in a my PAs so far. Have never had a problem with them. The are rated at 2 kV DC and 700 V AC. I alwyays ignored the 700V AC level. But probably

Jim, thank you for this clear and well thought out explanation! 73 de Markus (DF6NM) From: [email protected] James Moritz Sent: Sunday, August 14, 2011 1:07 AM To: rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep
Hi Stefan, The voltage rating alone is not enough. The capacitors in the Class E stages must be "pluse rated" They have to pass massive amounts of current. I tried originally to use old valve caps bu
