Grid leak is an inherent operating characteristic of triodes and other vacuum tubes. It is the small flow of current through the grid of a tube into the circuit which feeds the grid. This current is caused by the small negative EMF which is present in all vacuum valves as a result of a space charge within the envelope of the tube. The space charge is part of the thermionic effect, which is the fundamental phenomenon behind all vacuum tubes.
