Abstract :
THE PURPOSE of this paper is to report the electrical characteristics of electrochemical cell lines, partly based on tests made on various types and ratings of cell lines, so that there will be a clearer understanding in the application of electric equipment. It includes a brief description of different types of cells, their start-up procedures, and mode of operation, as well some guides in the application of electric equipment (particularly semiconductor rectifiers) to cell lines. The appendixes list the recommended testing procedures to be used in any investigation of new cell lines so that the data will be comparable to those reported in this paper.
