## One other note. If you want a fast grid fuse, for a hard fault,
install a 3AGC fuse holder on the rear apron. Then wire it between
chassis and bottom end of grid shunt. Use a FAST 3agc fuse, like
a 250-300-400 ma type.
## if something goes amiss, like you lose the B+, overdrive, arc,
parasitic etc, and grid fuse opens up, you will no longer have a
path for DC grid current. Tube can no longer be driven. Power
output drops to zero, and input swr rises to infinity, and xcvr shuts
itself down.... event over.
## Install a HV fuse in series with the B+.... followed by a
50 ohm @ 50 watt wire wound.... or 2 x 25 ohm @ 25 watt
wire wounds in series.
## Then its all protected.
