In Reply to: 'Where' is the output-tube coupler, with maybe-860VDC on it... posted by jeffreybehr on August 13, 2005 at 18:13:33:
the schem sez '833Vdc'. To overvolt a 1200Vdc cap, you would have to put ~260Vac of signal on it. Is this happening here?The thing is, these caps can stand a momentary (~few milliseconds) overvoltage of 20-30% without distress. I suspect another mechanism; are these near a high temp resistor?
