I haven't been able to get this info for some reason.
If I used 845s (or equiv) in P/P with 300B (or equiv as drivers), what kind of wattage out can I expect About 110W using full feeding voltage (1250V). Class A will be about 40-45W. A higher anode load will give less power but more class A. and how much of that will be class A? Also besides just giving me a figure, can you explain how you go about to attain it? Draw the load line on the anode curves chart. Locate the idle point and the points corresponding to the maximum voltage swing. Get the relevant values of I and V. Now You have all we need to calculate the amplitudes of two sine waves, I and V. To get the power, we need to multiply the RMS value of voltage times the RMS value of current. RMS V at full power is: (V at Vg=0) - (V at idle) * 2 ('cos the other half wave is provided by the other tube) * / (2*sqrt 2) RMS I at full power is: (I at Vg=0) - (I at idle) * 2 ('cos the other half wave is provided by the other tube) * / (2*sqrt 2) To get the Class A power, we need to consider a smaller voltage/current swing, ie, the one limited by the cut-off point (the one where the loadline crosses the zero current axis) and its symmetrical one with reference to the idle point. RMS V class A power is: (V @ "symmetric point") - (V at idle) * 2 (2 tubes) * / (2*sqrt 2) RMS I class A power is: (I @ "symmetric point") - (zero) * 2 (2 tubes) * / (2*sqrt 2) If You print the anode curves and play a bit with pencil & ruler, it becomes apparent. Ciao Fabio Thanks Fabio, that helps me. You are a good friend and I wish you luck in your project. It sounds ambitious. west |
