[Milsurplus] Re: RT-524 Trans Schemo?

Dave,

Sorry.  Guess I and maybe a few others misunderstood.  I don't know what 
supply you're using so I can't say whether it would trip breakers in it or not.  
In the one that I use, it probably wouldn't, but then it starts DY-17's and 
PE-208's without breaking a sweat.  If you're using the one made for the RT-246 
and -524, (can't recall its nomenclature right now), I would expect shorted 
inverter transistors to trip the breaker or blow the fuse.
