Re: Voltage drop across c4s

The C4S clips with 5V across it.

So with a 200V B+, the C4S clips at 195V.

The C4S behaves better with more like 20V instantaneous across it (estimate). So this means plan on 180V peak from your tube.

The static plate voltage on the tube will be closer to 120V (WAG) when you are all set and done. So you'll have 80V across the C4S at 35 mA for 2.8W loss, so buy a heatsink!
