"That's the point. The ALC cable protects the KPA-500 when the operator "spaces" and leaves the exciter power control at full power (100+ Watt) level."
My experience, and I have 10 Hz logger data, shows that the amp alarms, sets fault FL06, and drops into standby mode with no change in the ALC voltage level being observed.
I didn't set out to investigate this but my logger was running when I accidentally tripped FL06 on 6 meters this afternoon.
It appears to me that ALC only provides protection if the normal over-drive protections fail. Currently the ALC voltage only feeds my logger and is not connected to my TS-590S.
