What is the plate load impedance of a pair of 4cx800A tubes run at
2500VDC and 1500 watts out? I have read varying opinions on the amp groups ranging from 800ohms to 2100 ohms. I thought it might be 1600 ohms. ![]() Once the impedance is known I can try to determine the minimum tuning capacitance that I need. The pair of tubes are 22pf. What would be guesstimate of the stray capacitance in the tank circuit? I am undecided if I will use Pi or Pi-L network and whether it will be a load of 50 ohm or 200ohms with a toroid to bring it down to 50 ohms. I have to use real world parts.... I can use a vacuum cap to keep things simple. since I am not an engineer, I want to be sure that my guesses are in the ballpark... any input would be appreciated. Last time that I built an amp was over twenty years ago. It was a 4-1000a and I built the Hypersil plate transformer by hand winding it ![]() This time I will have Peter Dahl earn his money.
