1. 4-1000A is cheaper than 3-1000z
3-1000A $910
4-1000A $640
Above prices from Richardson Electronics either Triton or
Amperex....DON'T get TRITON!!!! Amperex tubes are much better.
2. 4-1000A is available on the used tube market the 3-1000z is not. The
4-1000A tubes can be had used for around $100 with full output.
3. The standard pole transformers which were popular for building power
supplies from
provide much more than 3KV unless you drop the input voltage down to
40 or 50 volts.
4. At 5 or 6 KV the 4-1000A in grounded grid requires much less drive than
the 3-1000A
5. You don't have to operate the 4-1000A in grounded grid it can easily be
operated in grounded cathode configuration.
