Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

IIRC...

it's been while - C1 gets slammed(charged) 120 times per second (mains Freq. x2)

The size of the cap in uf determines the amount of current drawn from the secondary, required to charge C1. Which in turn, (ohms law) the primary sees that current as well.
This is why increasing the already huge C1 bank on SS amps can cause the fuse to blow.
