5881 Datasheets

Why is it that all datasheets for 5881 valves don't give you a max dissipation curve on the graphs?

That does seem to be an oversight, or a departure from traditional practice, but given the max dissapation you can derive the limitnbased on your plate current and voltage yes?

It seems to be on all 5881 datasheets and all 6l6 datasheets.

And you're right...............I got mixed up reading Merlin's guides and thought it also depended on screen voltage. I now understand that it's not the max dissipation line that depends on it but the grid lines. Damn lol
