Next Question Ham operators, On the Tentec Centurian it is rated at 110V with 30 amp draw and for 220V it needs 15amp draw. QRO has a unit that is running two 500z's with a 110v current draw of 20amp
According to the Centurion manual, Chapter 3, page 3-1, the transformer is a tape wound Hypersil(R) weighing 35 lbs. Getting 1,500 watts out of a pair 3-500z's is really pushing the envelope. The Ame
Wonder if both mfgrs are talking actual current draw - meased with meter - during operation or whether they are just giving nominal ratibgs. E.g., is TT saying 'We recommend that you plan a 22o V 15
Folks, I guess this is old knowledge and not worth wasting "bandwidth on" so I will graciously move along and not be a pest by asking these or making any more Inquieries here. I could not nave learne
I don't think Paul is "wasting bandwidth" asking questions here. Heck, if all of us who ask questions called the manufacturers there would be little traffic on the reflector and we'd only be half inf
Simply meant that asking questions like that have little chance of receiving a definitive answer. The manufacturer knows what was intended. To: <tentec@contesting.com> -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.conte

What the ammeter shows for the line current on a particular transformer will depend on the ammeter, the transformer core, the load, and the line voltage. In a plate transformer application the load c
All things being equal; I do believe of the two listed amps the Centurion's IMD will be betterbecause of the lower anode supply. Bill N4WC -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/tentecfaq.htm Submi
