Title: BC-375 modulation transformer Post by: Opcom on July 04, 2011, 10:45:29 PM I'm wondering what a BC-375 modulation transformer will do. I am thinking 100W should be no problem. It's also made for 1000 B+.
pri DCR 120CT sec DCR 100 ACV test pri 100V sec 73V so that is a 1.37:1 ratio. Maybe it is about 6700 Ohms secondary based on the PA running 1KV/150mA. If so, primary would be about 12K or so which would explain using two VT-4's to modulate only one, they'd run at the high voltage but a lower current. The VT-4 is like the 211, a 100W tube, a pair will do 200W of audio. I think the BC-375 can do 60 to 100W carrier. so it makes sense. It might be good for any 1000V tube like the 811, 813, 572B, or even 4X150's. Has anyone used one of these transformers?

If you did get an answer elsewhere, maybe share that with us here.

Not many people seem to have used the transformer. AMfone - Dedicated to Amplitude Modulation on the Amateur Radio Bands
