[Elecraft] Subjecting W2 V/UHF Sensor to more than 200W

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

Not that I’m planning to do that, but does anyone know it’s max tolerance over 
a few seconds if one was to exceed the 200W by mistake?

I don’t know, potentially by 100W, but I’m looking to know what might be ok.

300 watts for a second or two will do no harm.

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

Thank you Bob, that is potentially the max output from the amp - but I’m 
planning on driving it from an XV144 (which I haven’t built yet) and will set 
that for a lower output, so I don’t get more than 200W on the sensor at the 
mast head

Re: [Elecraft] Subjecting W2 V/UHF Sensor to more than 200W

[Don Wilhelm]

David,

I doubt that Elecraft has subjected it to destructive testing, but rates 
their products on the conservative side.


I would guess that it will survive occasional excessive power (like 
accidental short term), but I would not subject it to those levels on a 
regular basis.
