5:1 Baluns/Ununs

5:1 CUBE™ Unun – Model CU-5-1500 (50:250 Ohm, 1.8-61 MHz, 1.5KW PEP)

Application. For traveling wave, end fed or portable 20-31 foot vertical antennas the 5:1 unun makes a good transformer for converting 50 ohm coax to a 250 ohm feed point. If you use the antenna on multiple bands, the feed point impedance may not always be 250 ohms and use of the unun at high (>350 ohms) or low (<100 ohms) will require reduced power input or the unun may have its power ratings exceeded and damage to the unun may occur. The (5:1 conversion ratio will change for loads other than 250 ohms unbalanced.

Typical application:

CU 5 1500 antenna - 5:1 Baluns/Ununs

Also available as a balanced output – CB-5-1500

20-6 Meter Loop antenna (72' wire) + 500/1500/5000 Watt PEP rated 4:1 Current Balun + internal 1:1 Current Balun in one enclosure + 4 insulators for support

* Complete package - just add coax

* works multiple bands with ease

* can be configured as delta, square, rectangle or multi-sided horizontal loop (4 insulators included)

* Choice of 500, 1.5KW or 5KW PEP rated HYBRID baluns to suit power needs

* No need for extra feed line choke as it is built into the 4:1 balun enclosure

After many requests we have created a compact, special balun for OCF and loop (Skyloop or Delta loop) antennas. The CB-4-1-1500/5000 is a CUBE enclosure containing a multi-core, broadband 4:1 impedance transformer in series with a 1:1 current balun for extra common mode current choking to keep RF current off the outside of the coax braid and on the antenna where it belongs. The extra choking action also means that the coax feed line will not act as a radiator causing unnecessary RF interference (RFI).

1.5KW Rated for full 1500 watts PEP and 1000 watts CW/FT8 (ICAS). 1.8Mhz – 61 MHz.

5KW Rated for full 5000 watts PEP and 1500 watts CW/FT8 (ICAS). 1.8Mhz – 61 MHz.

500 watt version is in "BULLET" format, 1.5KW is a 4 x 4 x 2 cube and 5KW is in 4" x 4" x 4" enclosure.
