Can I measure heater elevated 150V without valves connected or is necessary have the valves connected?

It's ok to power up without valves, but the b+ might be higher due to no load.

B+ is 300V, but without valves when measuring heater elevated DMM reads 0V instead 150V, heaters are ok 6,1V

Check the voltage divider resistors and cap that give you the 150v - something not right there I'd say.

You should be able to power it all up with no valves installed, just your voltages may be a little higher because there is no load. You won;t be able to check voltages throughout the circuit since you won't have a complete circuit. But you will be able to see your heater and B+ voltages OK.
********Please note that because you have no load, the B+ may take a lot longer to drop to safe levels than normal!!!********* So you have a B+ of 300V, you have the 2 sets of heaters giving you ~6V. Thats all good. Now with the power off, check resistance from ground to either side of the 2 resistors that give you the 150V (the 470K-220K in the original heater sch). It seems to me that its likely theres something wrong the the 2 resistors here, or else the connection from the heater to that point? If it was working correctly, powered up but no valves, you should have: GND to B+ of 300V GND to GND of elevated heater of ~150V GND to + of elevated heater of ~156V GND to GND of other heater of 0V Fran |
