Abstract :
The operation of inverters for obtaining alternating current from direct current is first considered in this paper, both the grid controlled rectifier and the "ignitron," a special type of mercury vapor tube, being analyzed. The duty on the inverter tube is next discussed, and special attention is then given to the "ignitron" inverter. Experimental results obtained with this latter type of inverter are given.
