Okay, thanks to Bill and Steve I think we can say it's just a safety measure in case of blocking cap failure. Maybe these amps don't have the traditional RFC across the output. Never did like that idea, always thought they looked a bit ineffective if faced with an amp or more at a few kV.

Amps from Acom and OM, maybe some others, have a large amount of
capacitance in series with the output after the power/SWR bridge. In
the case of the Acom 1000 this is 6 parallel 10nF/500v disc ceramic
capacitors with a 1 megohm (static bleed?) across them.

Have not seen this configuration on older Alpha amps or others. Can
anyone comment on the purpose?

Thanks
