    PL400 Caps Replacement

    You wrote that you had issues making the wires fit and clearing the meters. If moving the bridge around now made it all fit, you will be fine. Not as intended or as neat as it could be but if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    PL400 Caps Replacement

    I am referring to the caps for the snubber board, not the large bulk caps.

    PL400 Caps Replacement

    Yes, the hold down plate should almost touch the left side wall when installed correctly

    PL400 Caps Replacement

    The wires are all formable to be able to fit in the available space. Many have accomplished that. There is a notch in the hold down plate, when oriented properly will clear the meter nut. The threaded rod should be threaded down, by hand, until you feel it bottom on the transformer windings...

    Billion Watt Load Bank Build

    Hi Don To draw the type of arc you are mentioning, there will need to be a voltage source, a current flowing from that voltage source through the switch you mention into a load along with some relatively significant unquenched inductance in line with that circuit. That is not the case of a...

    Billion Watt Load Bank Build

    Pretty much any old switch will do Perry...just rate it for the current involved. If you are discharging the 100V caps on a 700 with a 470 ohm resistor, you will need a switch rated for minimum of 1/2A.

    Billion Watt Load Bank Build

    This gets a Perry Huh?? This bleeder will be attached to a capacitive load (the bulk caps in the amp) not an inductive load. As long as you don't have miles of wire creating inductance and a resistor in line to dissipate the energy stored in the capacitors, this is an easy task--the voltage...

    It is just a switch and a resistor

    As in the bulk caps in the amp under test? What's the issue? Should be easy to do.

    What is it you are attempting to do with a bleeder Perry. I thought this was about a resistor load bank? I have not been keeping up...
