In Reply to: What filter capacitors did they use? posted by FenderLover on October 17, 2016 at 17:05:11:
I have a RF linear amplifier from the '60s with a 1,500V/1A solid-state supply. It's a choke input filter with series 450V electrolytics. I don't know what the high power broadcast transmitters use, I've never worked with them.
Incidentally, I still remember going to see the "artificial lightning" demonstration at the natural science museum in Philadelphia when I was a boy. The demo charged a large bank of capacitors, then let go when there was enough voltage to arc across the gap. During the demo, there was a huge bang, following which a block of wood in the path of the arc literally disappeared. The high-vacuum rectifier they used was about three feet tall, lit up like a bunch of 100W bulbs. Yowee!
