Abstract :
A SERIES of load-dropping tests on ignitron rectifier circuits was conducted during March 1952 on an aluminum potline at the Mead (Wash.) Works of the Kaiser Aluminum and Chemical Corporation. The purpose of these tests was to obtain fundamental data on current and voltage surges encountered in a large ignitron rectifier installation when the potline load was tripped off by each of the following methods.
