  • Abstract
    THE MERCURY-POOL rectifier is a thoroughly reliable machine when properly protected and applied with the understanding that it is subject to infrequent, randomly occurring, internal faults known as arc-backs. An arc-back is a failure of an anode to block the flow of current from cathode to anode, resulting in a unidirectional short circuit between that anode and all normal anodes.
