Abstract
Simultaneous recovery of grading grids has been observed in a multigrid mercury-arc valve without the appearance of grid discharges in the recovery period. From this work it is concluded that a compact valve exhibiting rapid deionisation and recovery to potentials in excess of 250kV may be feasible. Such a valve could readily find applications for h.v.d.c. power transmission and for high-power modulators.
