RE: Cool

I have used a simple LM350 as a CCS on a tertiary winding of an output for a GM70. The goal was to run 2A of current through a low turn winding to offset 100ma of primary current.

In testing I found out the hard way that there was about 700V at 60Khz appearing across the primary with the CCS operating. This was without the Rp of the tube or a speaker load both of which damped out the oscillation. The OT also had an amorphous core which may have played a role.

In any event the basic idea of not putting two current sources in series is the basis for my warning so they will both fight to be in control which can lead to oscillation.
