  • Abstract
    Only recently have SCRs become available which allow the economical design of power controllers at the current levels required for direct coupled booster melting in glass furnaces. Two electric booster melting systems utilizing these high-power SCRs are described and some of the advantages obtainable from their use, certain of the design criteria involved, and some operating experience over approximately 1 year of service are outlined.
