Abstract
IN THIS paper results are presented from field tests made in March 1954 on the 100-megawatt ignitron rectifier station at the Robert P. Patterson plant, Arkadelphia, Ark., of the Reynolds Metals Company. Power from the rectifier station is used in the electrolytic reduction of aluminum, and all of the power is consumed on one aluminum potline. This is the largest concentration of d-c power on a single potline in this country.
