As a followup to my question, I guess the concept or the question is no different than if it referred to a dipole instead of radials on a vertical. The concern is protection from the high voltage at the end of the wire, and the potential of it causing a fire. So it is really a very general question, considering the numbers of antennas hams are having to disguise or hide inside their homes these days. In a vertical dipole, you have only one "radial" which carries the same currents and voltages as the upper vertical element. Seems to me, when one has multiple radials, the energy in each radial has to be the total energy available divided by the number of radials. Therefore, the voltage at the ends of 1/4WL radials should decrease as the number of radials is increased. This seems to be another way that distributed networks differ from lumped circuits. We might even be able to calculate the voltage at the ends of the radials, given the number of radials and the total power available to the radial system. -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= East/West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |
