Additionally, the 4-1000A, with a 6KV at 1 Amp
anode requirement needs a power supply to suit, and
while transformers and diodes are plentiful, adequate
filter caps are not, and those that are available are
hellishly expensive once the array is gathered to
afford low ripple at maximum amperage.
### I ran my last 4-1000 with just 4400 V under load of 600Ma.
[4800 v no load].
### With 120 w of drive from a Drake T4XC... it would produce 1950
w output.
### The last batch of new surplus lytics I bought were $10.00
each..... 2500 UF @ 450 v The ones u see ont he photo page
are a combo of 3700 UF @ 350 V [3" x 6"] and 5200 UF @ 350 V
[3" x 9"]
### These new 2500 UF @ 450 V lytics I bought are tiny things... 2"
diam x 4" long.... rated at a whopping 9.7 A CCS ripple current
[120 hz] . Use V squared x uf and then divide by 2,000,000
to calculate joules. Globs of energy storage from a string of
these new wonder caps.... = zip for ripple + superb dynamic
regulation.
