I was reading the Bill Orr handbook and on his section about amplifiers he says.....A properly designed grounded grid amplifier should produce 2 to 2.5 times the plate dissapation of the tube in outp

2-2.5 times the dissipation is normal. Assume 1500 out, at 70% efficiency that is 643W dissipation, 1500/643=2.33. Eimac claims 75% efficiency on their 3CX3000A7 datasheet in AB2. 73 Peter I was read

I have found that is usually the case. Bill Orr (SK) was far from a quack. I would ask your "guru" : 1. How long He worked for Eimac? 2. How many books/articles/white papers has He written? 3. How m

Depends on how much of a quack your resident guru is. A 4-1000A will certainly fit that criteria as well as a 3CX1200. The 8877 wont and neither will a 3-500Z, at least by staying within ratings. The

The 3-500Z does it when the anode gets 4KV, otherwise its current is the limit. You are right with the 8877. It all depends on the type of cathode. 73 Üeter Depends on how much of a quack your reside

I see more than a little ambiguity in that statement. Did he mean under normal operating conditions the output power will be 2 to 2.5 times the power "being dissipated" by the tube or that a tube of

Many of the old spec sheets indicate a correction for plate tank losses. Also, when figuring class AB2 efficiency don't forget the feed-thru power for grounded grid amplifiers. My 4-1000A amplifier w

Yes, feed trough power should be subtracted for the real calculation. To me it looks as Eimac did not do that on their 3CX3K datasheet. My glass envelope tubes can be driven very hard in GG without g

Bill Orr's writings go back a long time. Does the article in question say what class of operation he is talking about? Up until the mid to late '50s, Class C designs were common, and they are higher

Peter DF3KV brought up a good point about Orr "meaning" that the tube should do 2 to 2.5 times the plate dissipation in it's actual usage at rated spec's. His example is proof to that fact. I took th

You also have to consider the advertised plate dissipation versus the real. Compare the 4-1000A to the older 1000T for instance. The 1000T had a much smaller plate area and did not use forced air coo
