2 MW out with 26 kV x 110 Amps (plus 60 kw of drive feedthru due to
cathode driven) is quite good efficiency, 68%.
180 kW is the average (equivalent CW) power, as it is a pulsed
amplifier. The peak power needs high peak voltage. The high average
power needs a lot of DC current and makes heat. Both regimes are tested.
No new photos online besides the 3 technical papers I posted links to, a
month ago.
