- In the common circuit used for GG triode amplifiers that separates the B- from ground in order to allow for convenient plate and grid current metering, there is a 'safety resistor' from B- to ground.

- No, Rich, I'm not referring to the glitch resistor. I know that goes in series with the plate supply. I am asking about the one that goes from the negative power supply output to ground. 73, Vic, K2V

- The resistor is there to keep the B-minus rail somewhere close to ground (chassis) potential, even if the high voltage supply is operated separately from the rest of the amplifier. Without it, the wh

- This is the grid current meter shunt resistor. It must have glitch diodes across it to protect it from hv to gnd arcs so it can not be a "safety" device. Typical values are around 1-ohm. - Rich...,

- I think Vic is asking about the resistor that goes from the bottom of a diode bridge in the P.S. to chassis ground. This raises B- a few volts above ground so you can measure Ig and Ip in the B negit
