PLate Voltage Measurements
I have seen many bias tool sockets out there that allow measurement of the plate current. I want to use a similar adapter to measure the plate voltage too. Here is the trick, can I get a ground connection from the heater supply? Is it standardized that the 6.3VAC heater supply will be grounded? It seems that either the center tap will be grounded or one side. Worse case there will be two 100 ohm resistors providing a virtual ground. Any thoughts ?
