Abstract
The rectifier system is one of the key components that make up an electrochemical plant. It must be reliable, economic, and perform to meet both the process requirements and utility regulations. Thyristor. and diode equipment is compared in relation to economy, reliability, efficiency, power factor, and harmonic generation. The aim is to assist electrochemical plant engineer who has the responsibility of writing an equipment specification.
