Abstract
Metallic rectifier power packs have been in operation for about 18 months at the Buffalo, N. Y., plant of the Westinghouse Electric Corporation. The rectifier units fill the need for supplying d-c power for small d-c motors in scattered areas, and are claimed to have lower cost and higher efficiency than motor generator sets, with easier mounting and simplified maintenance.
