50:200 ohm (4:1) Dual Core Current Balun Kit, 1-55 MHz, 1500 watts PEP, for OCF, Loop, Ladder Line Antennas
Product Details
MPN: BA-4-1000DC
Type: balun or unun
Input ohms/Output ohms: 50 in, 200 out
Frequency Range < 2:1 SWR (MHz): 1-55
PEP Power Rating (watts): 1500 Watts PEP
Antenna Compatability: Balun: Ladder line to coax interface

Purpose. Model BA-4-1500DC is a 4:1 dual core balun kit (assembly required from parts supplied) used to translate a 50 ohm input up to 200 ohms at RF power levels up to 1000 watts when used with a matched load. It provides conversion from unbalanced coax to balanced ladder line/antenna feed point and gives a 4:1 impedance step-up to reduce SWR on the coax. Place at the junction of the balanced line and the coax to convert from balanced line to unbalanced coax.

KIT Contents. The kit consists of a 2 ferrite toroidal cores, two colors of insulated wire, a SO-239 UHF connector with stainless steel hardware, and an instruction manual.

Assembly time: About 1 hour, illustrated manual included with purchase.

Radio Club idea:

Buy 10 for a club do it yourself construction project - you can learn something and also build an end fed antenna (just add wire).

Product picture shows assembled item of all components in kit.

NOTE: for higher power and a true current balanced 4:1, use our BA-4-1500DC dual core 4;1 balun kit

The high power ferrite impedance transformer series (> 1:1), configured with outputs to act as a baluns (unbalanced coax in to balanced load output) or as ununs (unbalanced coax input to unbalanced load output) are designed for demanding radio transmitter stations that run over 1,000 watts PEP or run continuous modes like AM, digital, RTTY, FM, etc. at high power levels. Radio contest operators, commercial shortwave broadcast, and industrial and commercial stations use these transformers for for a variety of balanced and unbalanced antenna loads.  Baluns are typically used for balanced loads and antennas like dipoles, loops, log periodics, and direct feed yagi/beams.  Ununs are used  with verticals, end fed wires, horizontal dipoles, G5RV/ZS6BKW, Zepps, vertical wire beams, etc).  All products are in an enclosed NEMA water resistant box with SO-239 input connector and stainless steel side/top studs with wing nuts or side and top eyebolts.  The enclosure box has mounting “side feet” for attachment to a post or antenna boom using nylon ties.
