- I have a Jennings UCSL1000 - 1000pF, 5kV cap. If I put 5kV dc across it and run it through its tuning range, the leakage current is sometimes zero but fluctuates and there are places where the curren

- You should really see 0uA. Run it through its range and stop on the positions that have leakage. Drop it to 4 KV and let it cook. You might be able to effect a repair if it is gas as the arc will get

- This thread brings up a question Ive had for awhile. When hi potting a vacuum variable is it better to use AC or DC for the cooking? Ive a surplus shop commercial unit that goes to 15 kV in 3 ranges

- If I remember correctly, the Jennings test procedure uses AC and they test by applying voltage for a period, during which arcing can happen and then getting no arcs for a subsequent period - can't re

- Can you "really" cook a vacuum ?? I have never heard of a getter function being available. Don WA4NPL _______________________________________________ Amps mailing list Amps@contesting.com http://list

- Its something to do with zapping off whiskers iff'n I recall correctly. Similar to what Eimac does with "real tubes" Carl KM1H _______________________________________________ Amps mailing list Amps@c

- I think that is still normal. The 5KV rating normally is the peak AC test voltage rating at maximum capacity, not the working voltage. When those are stored for a longer time the vacuum might not be
