Typical Operation
| Mode | Plate V | Gm (µmhos) | Rp (Ω) | µ | Plate mA |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Static (400V) | 400 V | 6000 | 30000 | — | 45 mA |
| Static (800V) | 800 V | 4000 | 50000 | — | 22.5 mA |
| Class A/B Balans (Fixed Bias) | 800 V | — | — | — | 30 mA |
Application Notes
Two tubes in Class A/B push-pull can deliver up to 84W at 800V plate voltage. The anode connection on the bulb allows for high voltage without special measures.
