Abstract
THE 100-megawatt rectifier station at the Robert P. Patterson Plant of the Reynolds Metals Company is the largest concentration of d-c power on a single bus in this country. Power for the plant is obtained from 24 double-Y ignitron rectifier assemblies, each rated at 5,208 amperes and 800 volts. In March 1954, an extensive field-test program, involving both load switching and arc backs, was conducted at this rectifier station.
