State of the art of transductor application in Germany

After pointing out the state of standardization and rulings on transductor terminology in Germany, technical data on transductors in the power range of 1 va (volt-ampere) to several thousand kilo volt-amperes (kva) are briefly reviewed. The areas of the electronic power field and the regulation techniques in which the transductor has succeeded in Germany are shown in a number of applications; combinations and comparisons with transistors and controlled silicon rectifiers are described.
