Abstract
Research on mercury arc rectifiers indicates that up to a certain temperature the arc drop is reduced as the temperature is raised, and that the efficiency is increased accordingly. These facts have been applied to the design of single-unit 3,000-kw 625-volt rectifiers, some of which are now in use on the Eighth Avenue subway in New York City. The provision of control grids makes the rectifier applicable to a wide variety of uses.
