  • Abstract
    This article discusses 4 years´ experience in the operation of unattended automatic mercury arc rectifier and rotary converter substations supplying 600-volt d-c energy to overhead trolleys in interurban territory. The seriousness of minor failures in control equipment ordinarily employed in automatic stations is emphasized, and the replacement of some integral parts of automatic station control systems with more reliable equipment is recommended.
