| Depends on how fast the relay is. Just because its vacuum, doesn't mean 
its fast! 
I use solid state relays for cathode switching now days. Works great.

A. 408-8100, $19.95.    Kilovac S05FJA238, DPST-NO, contact form 2A.  5kV 
rating between contacts, current is 10A DC or 5A RF, 12 VDC coil voltage and 
500 Ohm coil resistance.
##  Has  anybody  used  this  relay b4,  for  any  application ?   I  was  
going  to  use one (with  contacts  in  parallel),  to shunt  the  100K 
resistor in  the  CT,  when  on  TX.  (Bias  cut  off  resistor  on a  GG  
triode).   $19.95  is  cheap  for a new  vac  relay.   It  only  has  to  
handle cathode  current.  (sum  of grid +  plate  current).  I  want  it  FAST.
##  I  have a small  ceramic  jennings spst-no,  3.6kv @ 10A  I  was  going  to 
 use  for the  same  application,  but alas,  I  can't  find  it  in my   
myriad  of  shelves +  boxes.
