Coldamp Class-D amp under test

Sat, 23 May 2009 14:41 -0400

Here we see a Coldamp Class-D power amp module, with its matching switchmode power supply, being put through its paces. The amp is cranked to its maximum 400 watt output, causing the dummy load to glow a dull red. (As far as I know, it appears purple because the camera's blue channel reacts to the near infra-red output.)

4-400 tube under test

This is a 4-400 transmitting tube that I bought second-hand, under test. You can see the plate glowing nicely. To test it, I grounded the control grid and filament, and applied 600V AC to the screen grid, and 2kV AC to the plate (using a transformer salvaged from a microwave oven)

Wheee

Here I am playing around on a little step-up jump at Innerleithen. This is a still from a video shot by Iain Hanlon.
