  • Abstract
    This paper explains the effect of a choke-input filter when used in connection with controllable rectifier tubes. Many of the difficulties experienced with instability and discontinuities of control of such rectifiers are due to an improper choice of input-choke inductance. A mathematical derivation of the proper value of inductance is given and a simple method of applying it to actual problems is illustrated.
