Abstract
The apparatus for the conversion of a-c to d-c power in various plants of the du Pont Company has included rotary converters, motor generator sets, and mercury-arc rectifiers. Operation and maintenance of this equipment since the company´s first converters were installed in 1895 to present rectifier installations has provided much valuable experience and information.
