Abstract :
IN the past four years, the many constructional and operational advantages of sealed ignitron rectifiers have greatly aided the war effort by saving critical materials and manufacturing facilities. Two-wire sealed ignitron rectifiers1 have met industry´s urgent need for efficient d-c power and have found wide application in the range of 75- to 1,000-kw capacity, at voltages ranging between 250 and 600 volts direct current for general industrial, railway, mining, and-electrochemical service.
