Re: 4CX1500A
I would really like to keep the exciter looking at 50 ohm so the amp could be switched in and out without retuning. David

Re: 4CX1500A
Rich, So what you are saying is that it really doesn't matter from the tube's input impedance stand point what value of resistor I use. I am running 3KV on the anode and 550V on the screen. According

Re: 4CX1500A
D. -- The resistive component of the grid input Z is well over 1,000,000-ohms in AB1, and the reactive component is 78pF. With 750V on the screen, it takes c. ¨C170 grid V to establish a ZSAC of

4CX1500A
Does anyone have information as to the approximate input impedance of a 4CX1500A for the proper value of a passive grid resistor for this tube? I need about 100 ohm to get sufficient grid drive, i.e.,

Re: Tube heater current
Well, today I measured the Penta 6JB6 heater current, which resulted 1.5A. or 25% more than data sheet stated (1.2A). The rig is working with two Pentas (120 watts out), and I added some resistance to

Re: Heatsink relationship
Bill it all has a lot to do with CONDUCTIVITY and stability. Whether it is electrical or thermal conduction. Copper has a large availability of free electrons. The molecules freely exchange them.
