The 3CX15,000A3 is a medium-mu power triode designed for use as a power oscillator in industrial radio frequency heating applications. It is also recommended for use as a conventional plate modulated amplifier, or as a linear amplifier. The one kilowatt filament and rugged 500 watt grid structure make this tube especially suitable for heavy duty service. Class of Operation C Characteristics Plate Dissipation (Max.)
