Default Choke phase spliter

Somebody had winding a center tapped choke phase spliter?
I want it for an 2A3 PP amplifier.

We (magnequest) make a center tapped autoformer phase splitter called the EXO-173.

Jack over at Electraprint has phase splitter chokes, and schemos demonstrating their use. Even though he uses a 6BX7, there's no reason you couldn't adapt to 2A3s.

There was a previous discussion on this forum of phase splitting autoformers---

might be worth a review.

hey-Hey!!!,
Heyboer TX in Michigan can also wind these. They have a design of mine in their books. It is based on the same interleave of the prototype Mike and I worked out for his 173PPS. Balanced capacitance and most importantly balanced and mimimum leakage L is how these things work.
cheers,
Douglas

could this have been the 2A3 PP amplifier you saw....

I think you need to let this go. Jack's plate loading chokes, as listed on his site, have between 50H and 100H. Your bringing this "concern" up every time someone mentions Electra-Print just sounds like badmouthing another manufacturer.

I think your jumping the gun a bit here.... and pulling the trigger long before you have your sights set on the bull's eye....

the reactors\plate chokes you reference are two terminal devices....
they are not Jack's phase splitters.

the phase splitting autoformers (3 terminal devices) that Jack makes are instead listed at http://www.electra-print.com/specialuse.php

and my mention of the 10 henries of L (for the psa-2d) is no slight or injury at all to Jack's product--- but a recognition that the driving source impedance of the phase splitter should be chosen with this value of L in mind.

Can I just add that since that last thread, I have converted my toroidal power transformer phase splitter to a center tap choke. This has extended the high frequency response considerably by lowering the effective interwinding capacitance.
