Quick output trans question

Post by paisley_tele »

I have a otv30 ac30 style output trans would it be ok to run to 6L6s with this trans?

Sounds reasonable to me, assuming that the AC30 transformer will show a 4k primary impedance with the apropriate speaker load, and that you have ~400V on the plates.

Well I contacted weber and he said that I can use this power trans for a dumble two rock build. Do know how much would be on the plates.

If the voltage spec on the drawing is at 150 mA load (like it says), then that would be correct for that load using a ss rectifier . Operating at that voltage and 4k Z would put the max plate dissipation along the class B load line at ~190% (assuming 30W max)... Might still be okay, but I think it's on the edge.
