[Elecraft] KPA500 problems

[ai6ii]

Thanks for the suggestions Ron.
>First, what size fuses did you put in? There are two different ratings

>supplied: 6A for 240 volt mains and 12A for 120 volt mains.
The fuses were the 12A ones (I still have the 6A ones in their unopened
envelope.)

>Before you turn on the unit with the new fuses, check the transformer tap

>setting as described in the Owner's manual under "Installation".
I checked the tap is yellow as it should be. The measued AC is 120V. I will
go to the store this morning a buy a few more fuses
and give it another try. The fuse holder looks good. It is positioned so
115V appears through the fuse window, and it looks like the 
contacts are aligned correctly to mate with the top two and bottom two clips
on the inside of the fuse holder. (If it were placed in the 230V 
position the contacts would mate with the upper one, middle two and bottom
one clips.)
Other than defective fuses, I can't understand why they would blow. Hmmmmmm.
Wayne did contact me and I am sure we will get this all sorted out. Still
the best products from the best company in my book. Just
a spot of bad luck for me. You can check out my station picture on QRZ.com
and see my K-line in place on my limited desktop.
