The "reflected power" is not dissipated in the source, matched or not.


If reflected energy could not cause over-current/over-voltage
problems in the source there would be no need for protection
circuitry. I once burned up a pair of ARC-5 1625's because my
feedline came unsoldered at the antenna. If there had not been
any reflected power, it would not have happened.
