Re: SB-1000
“ In France, we're limited to 500W, but I wonder how in the USA you can reach 1 kW without exceeding the maximum Eimac values.”
how do you reach 1 KW input or output?
In France, the power limit

Re: SB-1000
Yes, power is never calculated with peak voltages.

If anyone sees this book at a Hamfest, buy it!! This is a great book.

Re: SB-1000
I agree with you. That's why with a 2500 V HT I chose a -9 V bias which brings the quiescent current to 2 x 50 mA.
The curves I posted are with the original Drake L-7 schematic where the grids are

Re: SB-1000
I believe the problem isn't the voltage itself, which would be found (measured) between gate and ground. The problem is knowing where, in the circuit, the input power is dissipated. The gate-to-ground

Re: SB-1000
Just to add some elements to the discussion. Here's what I noticed on my Drake L-7, so with 2 x 3-500Z. The -9V bias on the grid is generated directly on the grid; the 9V zener is not in the cathode

Re: SB-1000
VK4TUX.? ?Nope.? that -75 vdc is for BIAS? voltage and only when operating Class C.... (either grid or cathode driven).
Look under? cathode driven....and 0 vdc? bias voltage. U will see 215 V

Re: SB-1000
Yes, that’s what Eimac says typical grid should be. I Eimac also states max limits:
Ig 108mA
Ip 400mA
max output 740W
but Heatgkit SB-1000 and AL 80B must have special permission from god. Their

Re: SB-1000
I can't find this magic formula in the Eimac documents I have. Could you post this document or a URL that allows us to find it?

Re: SB-1000
1st,
voltage squared divided by resistance equals power.
2nd,
The Eimac formula for grid dissipation is:
Pg=Vgc X Ig
where Vgc is the peak positive grid to cathode voltage
and Ig is the DC grid

Re: SB-1000
Eimac states driving impedance is 115 Ω
grid dissipation = peak voltage X grid current.
so at 100W drive, peak grid voltage is 150V
150V X 0.2Ig = 30W grid dissipation. 30W
I don't think you

SB-1000
I own a Heathkit SB-1000. Have not had it to long, just a few months. Had a few issues and just wanted to share them and what I did to fix them.
one day on 80M I think I hit a bad something. Bad tune

Re: Commander HF-2500 meter lamps and HV PS
Jim, VE7RF,
that is a boatload of FB info!!! I had not had a chance to respond but have read it twice and may need to read it a few more times and drill it in. Thank you!!! Great contribution to me
