This isn't as clear as I meant. Obviously, we normally talk about a grid bias voltage. I just re-checked an the recommended bias voltage is between -116V and -160V, if that helps...

What I'm saying here is that as these are power devices, the manufacturer does also state a maximum grid current. It's 220mA absolute max for grid 2, from the Russian data sheet.
