- Hi Gang; Here is the story. Turned on my MLA-2500 and plate V. was 1600 volts. Found (3) shorted diodes in HV string. Replaced ALL diodes w/new ones. Turned it back on. Still 1600 Volts. Checked caps

- Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think the caps in the HV string have anything to do with setting voltage. Aren't they there along with the resistors for making sure the whole st

- <some good stuff snipped> Jon has given good advice. The only other thing that occurs to me is the possibility that you lost a fuse in one leg of your 220. However, I'm sure anyone but me would have

- Hi Bob... One OPEN cap in the HV cap string definitely WILL reduce no-load HV - from ~1.41 x rms AC voltage (the peak value which a capacitance filter will hold to under no-load conditions) to roughl

- With the caps okay the off-load voltage will be equal to the peak transformer volltage (less a few volts for diode drops). With no capacitance, the voltage will be a series of half-rectified sine wav

- << Also, please help me understand how you can check a cap with an Ohm meter. Caps by characteristic are open circuits at DC. Do you have a capacitance function on your meter? I know some of the newe

- Bob, The open cap will do exactly what you ask. The voltage measured across the filter cap at the output of a full wave rectifier is about 1.414xRMS. I bet if you measure the AC voltage applied to th
