  • Abstract
    The analyses presented for both the voltage-tripling and quadrupling rectifier circuits have been made with the chief assumption being that of zero potential across the tubes when conducting. The characteristics obtained from the analyses and checked experimentally include those of the output direct voltage and the per cent ripple. These characteristics are useful in the design of the circuits and in predetermining their performance.
