  • Abstract
    Operating records indicate that rectifiers equipped with the latest improvements can be expected to perform as follows: 1. Arc-back rate of less than 1 or 2 arc-backs per rectifier per year. 2. Average ignitor life exceeding 5 years. 3. Service life on rectifier tank exceeding 5 years, without reconditioning.
