#1 6D22s wiring question
Hi-i feel silly for asking this question,but given my track record on elecktrickery i will ask anyway.
On the 6D22s half wave rectifier is the output is taken from the cathode (top cap).

Yes - For a FW rectifier connect the two cathodes (K) of two diode valves together with each AC leg of your trafo going to each diode anode (a) and CT to ground.

Hi-does a surge limiter (thermistor) go between live and neutral ?

I think a surge MOV actually goes across L and N.

Hi-i think Andrew is right !

Limits the inrush current when equipment is switched on.
* Presents an initial high resistance when cold
* When heated up, the resistance quickly reduces to a negligible value
end Quote.
If across live/neutral it would not work,or if it did you would end up with a short ?

I guess all of those web sites must be wrong then.
"Surge suppressers and protectors are available to address the problems caused by normal-mode noise. These devices are connected between the active and neutral wires at the power outlet. Most surge suppressers contain a device called a metal oxide varistor (MOV) which performs voltage suppression. A MOV is a device whose resistance value is dependent on the voltage across its terminals. A high voltage which appears across a MOV is clamped to a specified voltage and the current is diverted through the MOV and away from the sensitive computer equipment."
"Almost all shunt surge protectors rely on MOVs connected in such a way as to shunt surge energy to ground. An MOV is a type of semiconductor device which “turns on” when the voltage across it exceeds a certain value. MOVs are about the size of a quarter, and cost about a quarter. When a surge appears at the terminals of an MOV its resistance drops as the voltage across it exceeds the threshold and it conducts the surge current, diverting the surge to the neutral wire and/or the ground wire. Shunt protection is therefore diversion technology – the surge is diverted from the hot wire to the neutral wire and/or the ground wire."
Maybe you are talking about an inrush limiter Philip... What actually do you have?

No, the sites are right, its just a MOV is not the same as a thermistor (which is what Phil said he had)I guess all of those web sites must be wrong then.
The MOV is designed to conduct when the voltage goes above a known limit, so normally its across the L and N and as the voltage is below its limit, isn't conducting. If a spike comes along, it starts conducting, and removed the spike voltage.
A thermistor, is just a resistor that varies its resistance with temperature. The one used here, has a higher resistor when cold. Its wired in series with the live connector. At startup, its cold, so its a high resistance. as current flows, the current warms it up, so its temperature increases, its resistance drops, so the current passed increases.
Wiring a thermistor acorss L and N would be a "bad thing" (tm)
Whenever an honest man discovers that he's mistaken, he will either cease to be mistaken or he will cease to be honest.

Hi-sorry about my terminology !
Yes,it is to limit the initial surge when the amp is switched on.
Are toroidal transformers more prone to this ?
