Characteristics of a vacuum tube operating as a Class C amplifier:
Low plate circuit efficiency, about 25%; practically no grid driving power; plate current flowing for 360 degrees of each cycle; practically no distortion of the output waveshape
Plate circuit efficiency, about 50-60%; plate current flows slightly more than 180 degrees of each cycle; medium power output
High plate circuit efficiency, up to 80 %; plate current drawn in bursts ; great distortion of output waveshape
None of the above
