As have I. Curiously, in addition to the open heater, the insulation between the heaters and the cathode had broken down. To me, this possibly suggests a B+ to gnd flashover that drove the cathode t

heater I presume you mean 'ground to RF'. Interestingly enough, back in the dawn of pre-history when the the old Command transmitters were designed, they used a Hartley oscillator at only a few watts

I mean that the heater should probably not be DC grounded as long as the possibility of a B+ to ground arc exists. . If such an arc occurs, the internal insulation between cathode and heater can arc

Do I understand you as advising a bifilar filament choke, and tying one side of the heater and cathode together? That stops the heater cathode insulation getting punctured with a B+ to ground short;

Yes Correct Jumper the cathode to the heater and it does not matter if the heater/cathode insulation has gone to hell. The heater draws 10.5a. Radios that will deliver over 10a of RF output are not

An external B+ to ground short in a GG amplifier - the classic case being powering-up with the B+ crowbar switch closed - will not send any current through the cathode at all. The current flows back

Good point - I should have said, "powering-up and then closing the B+ crowbar switch." - moderated by a surge limiting ("glitch") resistor, all of which is totally within our control. Yes, there are

Depends what you mean by "penetrating". It doesn't have to blow a physical hole in the grid. What could be happening is that the very local area of the grid where the arc strikes is pulled strongly p

The grid is rather well grounded through the Eimac fixture. . I do not see how such a scenario would be possible. None of the current that supplies an anode/grid arc is emitted by the cathode. The c
