Abstract :
Of primary importance to the magnesium reduction industry is reliability of power supply. Many of the plants built for the production of the vital material had their own power plants which supplied alternating current to conversion equipment. The major part of the conversion capacity was supplied by mercury-arc rectifiers which provided an excellent service record.
