  • Abstract
    Available relays for control of high-power direct current are seen to be large, heavy, and adversely affected by vibration and shock. This paper shows how commonly available components of reasonable size can be used with small vibration-resistant relays to control large direct currents at high potential. Thus, control of high-power airborne power supplies on the direct current side has become possible with reasonable equipment.
