The rated plate voltage and grid-No.2 voltage of this tube are high enough tobe dangerous to the user, Care should be taken during adjustment of circuits, especially when exposed circuit parts are at high de potential. Heavy leads and conductors together with suitable Insulation should be used in all parts of the rf plate tank circuit so that losses due pad I Perit oe 1g RARE att to} 5 2 | ; Fig.a~ Average Characteristics of Type 813. wee Bia Se, | Youre uA Fig.g~ Average Characteristics of Type 813. to rf voltages and currents may be kept at a minimum, At the higher frequencies, it is essen- tial that short, heavy leads be used for circuit connections in order to minimize lead inductance and losses. When a new circuit ments are made, is tried or when adjust it Is advisable to reduce the Plate voltage and grid-No.2 voltage. If the 813 is operated at maximum ratings and grid-No.2 voltage is obtained through a series dropping @ resistor, the use of a 5000-ohm protective re~ sistor In the high-voltage supply lead Is recommended. When a separate grid-No.2 voltage supply is used, a 4000-ohm protective resistor should be connected in the grid-No.2 supply lead, A protective device, such as a fuse, should be used to protect not ‘only the plate but also 500 6 1350 PLATE (14) SR GRID-NAz" (tea) AUPE ag Figsg ~ Averoge Plate Characteristics of Type 813. grid No.2 against overload. In order to prevent excessive plate-current flow and resultant over= heating of the tube, the plate circuit should be fused. Similarly, a fuse in the lead to grid~ No.2 should remove the grid-No.2 voltage when the de grid-No.2 current reaches @ value st ight ly higher than normal. Shielding and isolation of the input and output circuits are necessary for stable opera- ne In some cases where the 813 is used as an rf amplifier, neutralization may be necessary to Prevent feedback. It Is not necessary, however, to provide an external shield for the 813. The rf impedance between grid No.2 and the cathode must be kept low, usually by means of a suitable bypass capacitor.
