  • Abstract
    Interest in the mercury arc rectifier has grown considerably in America in the last few months. The apparent advantages of the rectifier in higher capacities and for higher voltages have attracted the attention of operators. It should therefore be of interest to present some information on the characteristics of rectifiers, and some comparisons with rotating converters as to operation, cost, floor space, weight, etc.
