Abstract :
The paper deals with a recent design of mechanical contact rectifier, rated at 15 kA and 220¿270 volts, which has been developed in this country. Its constructional features and the reasons for adopting the arrangements selected are described in detail, and a brief account is given of the results obtained. The overall efficiency is over 97%.
