Default Re: Valve testers & 'soak' testing.

Hi Al, from the units I have seen I would say no, the transformers look as if they are designed for about a 30% duty cycle max.
You will be able to soak test your EF80 for several hours, but no chance with rectifiers or power valves.

It is simple enough to make a large PSU and a couple of meters to carry out soak testing if you wish, you can then put the valve back in your nice precision tester to check on progress
