Can 100-150w powersupply use for 8ow tube

[ltran2000]

-power supply spec:
* Power: 120W~150Watt (180W peak)
* Triggering Voltage: 40KV
* Operating Voltage: 22KV
* Current: 38mA
Will this damage the 80w tube ? Thanks

You will have to measure the current and ensure you never exceed the recommended max current for your 80watt tube. Exceeding the recommended current will provide poor results AND shorten the tube's life. If you are using a DSP, you may want to set the max power percent to something that will ensure the current is not exceeded.
