Mercury Arc Rectifier Practice - ORCHARD Frederick Charles

KORTE INHOUD

Hardcover, dj, in-8, 224 pp.

Frederick Charles Orchard is known for his work on electrical engineering, and his book "Mercury Arc Rectifier Practice" is a key text on the practical use of mercury arc rectifiers, which were once commonly used in power electronics to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). Mercury arc rectifiers were popular in high-power applications like industrial DC power supplies, electric railways, and battery charging stations before the widespread adoption of semiconductor-based rectifiers.

In "Mercury Arc Rectifier Practice", Orchard provides detailed information on the design, operation, and maintenance of mercury arc rectifiers. The book is particularly useful for engineers and technicians working with or studying the history of power electronics. The text is somewhat specialized, as mercury arc rectifiers have been largely superseded by modern solid-state devices, but it remains valuable for understanding the history and technical aspects of power conversion.
