If fusing the grid is so "safe" why is it not used in commercial transmitters? If it protects a tube so well, why has no tube manufacturer recommended it (they recommend a surge limiting resistor in

I joined this list to learn about amp design, not repair. I can see the point about not designing a fuse or limit resister in the grid circuit because it seems to be a band-aid for poor fault design.

That's my point exactly Joe. A fuse in the grid is exactly the opposite of what common sense and technically solid logic would dictate in any design. Worse yet, one person advocates removing reliabl

Bingo, Paul ... next question: does a C-E shorted transistor limit current? I've seen the grid protection pass-transistor short in an Alpha 3, 8874 amplifier, and one of the 8874s had gold sputtering

Non-sequitur, grid fusing was not installed even in the newest tube transmitters. In fact, the grids were generally bolted directly to the chassis wherever possible. If they can't be bolted to the c

It's really pretty simple Will. I'll try to explain it one last time. There are two main catagories of excessive grid current. One is from excessive RF drive. This is caused by any number of sceneri

Tom, The problem is, you stated all this can occur after the fuse or resistor opens. It can not, only before it does. "Now when the tube faults and if the resitor opens, the grid can rise to full ano

Joe, The arc to the grid would go to ground through the fuse and any HV should bleed off before the fuse would open I'd venture to say. The current from the arc would be what causes the fuse to open.
