Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

I've done this....

ASC and GE will tell you different things...

ASC sticks with the 1.41X rule, while GE says a 660VAC can take 1000
VDC, which is pretty close to the rule....

The real question is what surge can the caps take, and how does this affect their lifespan??? Using a 370VAC as 600VDC may work, but what are the max conditions the cap will see at tunr-on, and how long will it last would be my concern.
