That sounds factual on the surface but the 50 amps actually
comes from anode current at 10kV anode voltage in pulsed
applications with a 3CPX1500A7 pulse rated tube with hotter
cathode and driven with a kilowatt, not 8877 grid current.
Very few amplifiers would be running the cathode at 3CPX1500
temperatures and even fewer would have 10kV dc between the
cathode and other elements.
