[Amps] Grid Current Advice

[R.Measures]

There is no max grid-I rating.  The max rated grid dissipation is 20w, 
but several experimenters have found this to be somewhat conservative 
-- probably because the grid is made from Mo, which melts at 2617ºC.

Figuring grid P --- According to "Care and Feeding ... ... ..." , 
grid-dissipation is approx. the indicated DC grid current multiplied by 
the RMS grid to cathode potential.
