Abstract :
A description is presented of a range of thyristor values which have been produced for direct connection to supply systems at up to 38 kV, thus obviating the need for a step down transformer at these voltages. A number of examples illustrate these two systems and their applications to the compensation of pulsed loads, arc furnaces, mine winders and both conventional and cyclo-convertor fed steel mill drives
