Inverter action on reversing of thyratron-motor control

Victor Siegfried (Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, Mass.): The authors´ description of the inverter action of the thyratron-motor control upon reversal has added considerably to the art of supplying d-c motors from rectifiers. The application of this feature has extended the usefulness of the drive to include practically every feature previously available with conventional generator supplies. The material in this paper also brings out clearly a number of the relations which occur in the rectifier-supplied motor whether reversing or nonreversing.
