Transient peak plate current! Icon_clap

As the source voltage goes up or as you increase the capacitance in a capacitive input filter you have to increase the plate source impedance or you risk exceeding the transient peak plate current and the tube striking an arc and making a bad mess of things. (end of tube, cap and xformer)

I now recall a Majestic cathedral and an experiment with a 47uF 450 V cap that ended quite badly. Icon_redface


Now I'm gonna have a beer and kill off that brain cell for good.
