Abstract :
A practical germanium power rectifier has been developed which is now being applied to industry in the form of a d-c power supply. Applications include its use in the chemical, aluminum, steel, titanium, and tin reclaiming industries. Ratings such as 16,000 amperes at 65 volts, 12,000 amperes at 130 volts, and 40,000 amperes at 24 volts are being manufactured.
