If you mean "balun",you may have to wind your own for that power range.

Grumpy,

Sorry I have never heard of a CENTURION Balun before.

Try doing a GOOGLE (www.google.com) search for BALUN or HF Radio Baluns

Hope this helps,

Lon

Guys,
Ummm just go to ANY ham shop as they all sell em up to 1500-2000 watts and around 15-35 bucks. They cover 0 to 30 MHZ. This is an easy answer!
Cheers

DX Engineering makes baluns that take 10 KW or more. I have a DX Engineering 9:1 balun feeding my longwire setup and it works great. I have never fed 10 KW into it, but looking inside, I am sure it would take it.

They are available in vrious ratios.
