Abstract
SEVERAL INSTALLATIONS of 300-kw mercury arc frequency-changing equipment have been made in the United States for induction melting and heating applications. An analysis is presented of the basic circuit for electronic conversion of 3-phase power of commercial system frequencies into single-phase power of a frequency of the order of 1,000 cycles.
