Abstract :
THE ADVANTAGES of semiconductor diodes in certain applications of d-c power have led to the design and construction of rectifier units of very high current ratings, employing many diodes in parallel on each phase of the rectifier transformer. As in the case of mercury-arc rectifiers having more than one anode connected to each phase, the designer is faced with the problem of current unbalance between parallel elements.
