This is based on the assumption that the actual operating temperature is indeed 400C @ 15 kW. If it's in fact much less, then 130 kW for a short period may not be a problem. Perhaps it only gets up to 400C when the output is really high? Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
