WHAT DOES GRID BIAS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Grid bias

Grid bias is a DC voltage applied to electron tubes with three electrodes or more, such as triodes. The control grid of these devices is used to control the electron flow from the heated cathode to the positively charged anode. Bias point in small-signal applications is set to minimize distortion and achieve sufficiently low power draw. In high-power applications, biasing is typically set for maximum available output power or voltage, with a secondary target of either low distortion or high efficiency. ▪ In a typical voltage amplifier, including power stages of most audio power amplifiers, DC bias voltage is negative relative to cathode potential. Instant grid voltage should never rise above cathode potential to prevent grid-to-cathode currents that overload preceding amplifier stages and may cause severe even-order distortion. High transconductance tubes develop significant grid currents even with small negative bias; in these cases, maximum instant voltage ceiling is lowered to -1.0..-0.5 Volt. ▪ High efficiency Class B+ push-pull amplifiers operate at higher bias points.

Definition of grid bias in the English dictionary

The definition of grid bias in the dictionary is the fixed voltage applied between the control grid and cathode of a valve.
