Abstract
A SINGLE unit mercury arc rectifier of 3,000-kw rating at 600 volts is discussed as regards design and operation. A typical installation, that of the new Eighth Avenue subway of the New York board of transportation, is described where units of this size have been advantageously applied to the subsurface substations.
