[Amps] 4CX250 Grounded Grid

[Bill Fuqua]

If you have lots of drive you can connect the control grid to the cathode 
and ground screen grid.
But the cathode would have to swing 200 to 350 volts negative to get 
reasonable output power.
This peak situation should produce the same peak plate current as class 
AB1  and 200 to 350 volts bias on
the screen grid. The power gain would work out to be around 3 or 4 at best.
