Hi Petter:


    I am kind of simple, and carry a note in my pocket how to get home but here
goes.


Single 3-500Z  Maximum ratings......

DC Plate volts      4,000 volts
DC Plate Current 0.4 amp (400 ma)
Plate dissipation 500 watts
Grid dissipation    20 watts

Typical operation...

Single Tube 3-500Z

Plate Volts        3000          3500   VDC
Cathode Voltage  +10          +15
Zero signal Plate current
                            62 ma       53 ma
Power input        1200W      1400Watts
Output power       740W       890Watts

Resonant Load Impedance
                             4200         5000
Driving Impedance
                              115           115

Max Signal Driving Power
                                46W        46 Watts

The above is for class AB2 Cathode driven tubes...

I have the Henry 2K-4 amp and its ratings are......

(two 3-500Z)

Plate voltage 3200

Plate current 800 MA

idling current 170 to 200 ma  (mine is set at 175ma)

Driving power approx 70 to 80 watts on my unit will produce 1500 watts output
average.
Will make 1500 watts pep easily.

Hope this will help, above for Eimac tubes.
