  • Abstract
    A welding rectifier embodying the ``ignitron´´ principle, a recent development in a program of research on mercury arc rectifiers, provides predetermined welding currents for periods of time variable in steps of 20 sec, or less if desired. This paper describes the design and operation of the ``ignitron´´ and illustrates its applicability to the problems involved in line welding processes.
