Capacitor Replacement Guide
The advanced design of the 821A-1 250 kW
transmitter is a direct benefit from Collins' depth of
experience in broadcast equipment manufacture.
With totally new and unique design features, this
high frequency transmitter advanced techniques of
super-power transmitter design.
Introduction:
Even thou these transmitters are 25
years old, IBB Delano, California
regularly uses all three transmitters.
Recently, several of the original
capacitors were discontinued. IBB
asked Comet initiated a study to
identify replacement capacitors for
their Collins Model 821A Transmitter.
Scope:
It was critical to IBB to minimize
changes required to their transmitters.
Application:
IBB Delano is still evaluating these
alternatives.
Responsibilities:
Since difference can occur over time
in specific installations, it is always
recommended to verify replacements
in your application
