The Hughes 8000 Series of Standard Band Traveling Wave Tube Amplifiers cover the 1 to 40 GHz frequency range with a minimum power output of 10/20 watts CW. Each amplifier consists of a PPM metal-ceramic traveling-wave tube, a regulated solid state power supply and complete air cooling system assembled within a compact instrument case. The 8010/8020's light-weight compactness makes it ideal for either bench or 19-inch rack mounting. This size-weight feature is the result of the unique circuit design. The 8010/8020's have a wide variety of uses in such applications as EMI testing, antenna testing, communications, component testing, system testing and general laboratory requirements.

 Photo as wired for 220VAC EXCEPT The surge protector must be removed. (the 2 primary windings are changed from parallel to series) |
 Also, the trace W3 must be cut. Underside of pcb, under large capacitors. |
| The AC output of this transformer is about 33VAC |
