  • Abstract
    RECTIFIERS and inverters employing grid-controlled gas or vapor filled electronic valves require some means of interrupting the current through the tube. Commutation is the term applied to the interrupting of this current. In this paper the problem of commutation is discussed and a method of using a harmonic circuit of reduced kva to force commutation is described.
