I'm a bit(actually a lot) confused regarding voltage config settings for full wave rectifier tubes. In the actual circuit the tube's plates are fed by high voltage AC from the power transformer, around 360v. I see Chris using the DC voltage chart for the tube to set the test parameters, and the voltages are much lower. How do they correlate? I'm relatively new at this stuff so please bear with me.
Thanks,
Len

Len,
What we want to measure is the voltage across the rectifier tube. Not the output B+ voltage.
Let's assume the rectifier is a semiconductor diode. No matter how high the output voltage is the voltage across the diode is always close to 0.7V.
