Rectifier voltage control

R. H. Wheeler: The paper by Mr. Prince is a very interesting discussion of the potential possibilities of the use of the interphase transformer.

Rectifier voltage control

Lack of voltage control is one of the objections which have been made to the use of rectifiers. The author describes a method of voltage control for rectifiers based on the use of a saturated core interphase transformer. Saturation of this device produces a gradual change from two three-phase rectifiers operating in parallel to one six-phase rectifier which has a higher inherent voltage ratio. The theory of operation is discussed and supporting oscillograms and observed regulation curves are shown.
